Applications for 3D Modelling!

Aim: Develop and deliver a presentation about applications of 3D Modelling. Then begin U41A1T1.

Objectives for the day:
*Complete the access forms and date correctly.
*Complete the Kahoot quiz.
*Review criteria.
*Share research and discuss findings.
*Work well together.
*Create a master presentation.
*Fairly divide workload.
*Present work.
*Take notes during presentations.
*Begin U41A1 T1.

Hello!

Today I arrived presumably early to the college centre and quickly amended the small changes for U23_A4. As for units 23 and 35, the outstanding work remaining is to complete the Scheme of Assessment and submit it officially.

When the day started, we started with a Kahoot quiz which is all about the new unit. At the beginning, I did a little terrible as I had made small mistakes but in the end, I have managed to reach second place in top 5. 

Afterwards, we reviewed the criteria for A1 as a class. It has helped strengthen my understanding of the first assignment and has beneficially helped me throughout the day. I am aware to be aiming for distinction once again, and that is to comprehensively explain, add elucidated examples and use correct terminologies in regards to applications for 3D modelling.

In addition, Adam also talked about 'inspiration' to us - where it comes from, why it's needed and its benefits. A strength from the day is that I understood more of where my inspirations come from, which is literally anywhere because a small random event can spark a new innovative idea.

As a class, we also did a group research to create master presentations of how 3D modelling is applied to different applications of architectural walkthroughs, games and films. I was grouped with Alex W, Brandon B and Chris M and worked on architectural walkthroughs. We identified this to be difficult as we do not often come across this, but due to this challenge I have been able to learn a lot of how it works overall.

When each group presented their topic, I created notes and have been using it in U41_A1T1. To reflect our group work, I enjoyed it to a certain extent. I felt that the group was not completely together and I had tried my best to delegate everyone to find information. I was wondering what the differences would be if I had worked alone.

For the rest of the day, everybody worked on U41_A1T1. My weakness for today was the need to constantly re-read the criteria and ask for slight assistance - the purpose kept almost slipping out of my head. However, I did not want to start rambling in my coursework and I wanted to be straight-forward. By the end of the day, I would approximate 2/3 completion.

In terms of personal reflection, I felt that today I had concentrated well and focused on the task. To gather more information, I researched independently and I have learnt a few things that can be applicable to my course choice for university. I am enjoying this unit 100% and I am looking forward to the future. My personal goals would be to finish the first task by Monday so I can start fresh next week. I will also work on my art throughout the weekends and revise languages. My first interview will come up in due time, so I am nervous.

My inspiration has been this website here. It is incredibly informative about games and it highlighted different factors needed to be considered.
