All competitors must create a one-page résumé using a word processor to submit to the judges upon check-in. Skill Performance Project Information The contest is a two-person event assessing the ability of the team to produce high quality images and an animated short subject using 3-D computerized images. A practical visual design problem will be given, the scope of which should be viable within the seven-hour practical competition period. The problem will consist of a topic to communicate, its context and target audience, a rough script to follow, and an emotion or graphical effect that should be illuminated in the still and animated output. Page 3
Contest Guidelines 1. Preparation of the animation must include the development of a storyboard. However, in the real world the final output is of paramount importance and the storyboard only a means to that end. So, the storyboarding process will be used to judge: a. Teamwork skills b. Ability to creatively reach consensus on c. Design solution d. Ability to organize their efforts e. Ability to verbally and visually express ideas between team members and to the client (in this case, the judges) 2. Three to five still images from varied scenes and perspectives must be rendered in medium resolution (640x480 pixels to 1024x768 pixels) and true color (24, 32 or 64 bits per pixel) and submitted to the judges station on a USB drive or other acceptable media at the completion of the practical competition. Still images must be output to either: TIF(F), TGA, PNG or JPG. These images should clearly show superiority in modeling, texturing, lighting and composition. 3. Render animation at low resolution (approximately 320 x 200 pixels) and medium color depth (16 bit) for playback (with a minimum length of 10-second/300 frames). Animation must be output to either Microsoft Movie (AVI) or Macintosh Quicktime (MOV) files and submitted to the judge s station on a USB drive or other acceptable media at the completion of the practical competition. The animation should clearly show superiority in composition, staging and the use of motion and object manipulation over time. Anticipation and scene transitions, object stretching and squashing and/or other techniques should be employed to create a sense of realism or graphic impact as defined by the visual design problem. 4. During the contest, the contestants will work as a team. No assistance will be given by other teams, instructors or observers. Limited technical assistance for computer or software malfunction may be given by appropriate manufacturers representatives. 5. Teams will each be given the same amount of time to accomplish the problem. 6. Everyone will begin at the same time and take a required lunch break, and no one will be allowed to work past the contest conclusion. 7. The technical committee reserves the right to videotape the animation. 8. The technical committee will be responsible for not only developing the problem for the competition, but also for developing the evaluation tool by which to objectively measure competitors performance. Judging criteria will be general in nature and will be done from the completed storyboard, still images and animation. Specific criteria will be based on the demonstration of competency in those elements of design, animation and clearly depicting the theme. Emphasis in judging will be placed on the graphical impact and effectiveness in addressing the design problem. Some areas for consideration include: a. Planning: The storyboarding process, the degree to which the output images/animation clearly and creatively communicates the solution to the problem without the benefit of support materials. b. Modeling: Creation of 3-D objects. The degree to which the animation realistically and accurately portrays something about the problem. c. Animating: Defined motion of objects d. Rendering: Final rendered output. A quality measured in terms of how well directions are followed in telling the story, the visual impact of the problem solution and the Page 4
judge s assessment of the design, revision, final editing and presentation of the design problem s solution. e. Originality: Creative techniques f. Illustration of the theme: An overall measurement of the distinctiveness of submitted output, including the degree to which the use of technology, aesthetics, lighting and composition demonstrates development of a superior product. The setup, configuration and tear-down of all contestant-provided equipment will be the responsibility of the team. Page 5
