Crests project evaluation guide

• Did you end up with five completed files?
  • Were all five crest templates traced and modified to appear in a three-dimensional environment?
• Were the crest outlines traced efficiently?
  • Minimal number of control points used to establish curves?
  • Closed shapes are actually closed, so they can be filled?
  • Correct choice of point types (corner, curve, connector)?
• Is the 3-D look realistic?
  • Shapes are in the correct front-to-back order?
  • Drop/cast shadows do not obscure background images?
  • Drop/cast shadows relate to the original undistorted shape?
  • Sides of "depth" shapes properly follow the outline of the original shape?
  • Highlights and shading conform to the curvature of the 3-D object represented?
• Does the crest "interact" with its environment?
  • See-through transparent objects?
  • Translucent, cropped shadows cast on objects?
  • Mirror image seen in reflective surface?
  • Soft-edged shadows and lighting effects?
  • Objects woven into other objects?
• Is there a variety of techniques used?
  • Are there combinations of the approaches listed in the handout?
  • Are there additional approaches?
