| Abstract: | Beginning 3D modellers tend to struggle to recognise quality in computer-generated imagery. Thus, I developed a digital guide that helps them review their work. The guide divides the key principles of 3D modelling into the categories (i) modelling, (ii) texturing and (iii) lighting, each covering three subcategories. Each subcategory is showcased by a row of images depicting progressive stages of quality; the feeling of improvement throughout the row enables the user to compare their work to the images and therefore pinpoint the level of quality they are currently at. A pilot test was conducted with students who had finished a beginner-level course in 3D modelling. The participants were tasked with finding as many errors in a test model implementing a prototype of the digital guide. All users were able to understand the guide’s image-based system, and the guide received a score of 9.2 out of 10. A key takeaway from the pilot testing was how categorisation created a feeling of safety for most participants. However, 83% of the remarks concerned the desire for instructional feedback on how to improve. Overall, the core system of categorisation and showcasing aspects through rows of images was proven to work well and showed potential for future development. |
