Unit 66 – 3D ModellingHA5 – Sidekick Task 1 – Project Charter Use these prompts to create a written charter for your project.

Skills Audit – Review your strengths and weaknesses and confidence in the following areas:

Project ManagementOver the overall assignment I believe I have gain many skill and I have learnt how to do things I would even think off doing so I believe that the overall subject was challenging but at some times easier so I believe that I have gained many new skill but my time keeping could be improved because I have spent more time on some parts off my work rather than other parts but as an overall review I believe that I have done pretty well to get my work done in the time I have been given to do it in. Research and Ideas GenerationIn this area I believe I am strong at this because I find it very easy to find images relevant to my work this is an easy part of the subject because I have had complete freedom off what I wanted to find to base my robot off this has made the overall research successful because I have been able to find what I have need to create my idea. Drawing TechniquesIn this area I would say I was better at doing cartoon images even though I can make more realistic images if I spend more time on the particular image but I would say I was better at cartoon images but my weakness could be more realistic images because it would take me a longer period of time to complete the image but I do think my skills depend on what I am working on.Adobe PhotoshopI believe my skills I Photoshop are good but there is always room for improvement in this area in my opinion purely because I can use Photoshop but I do feel that I still have stuff to learn in Photoshop to confidently say I was really good at using Photoshop. Adobe IllustratorDuring my time with illustrator I believe I have gained allot skill with this compared to Photoshop because I have had more time with illustrator but yet again I would prefer more time with it to get a bit more use to it but other than that I do believe I can use it confidently to get what I want and to make sure what im dong on it is right and overall correct. NewTek LightWave - ModellerDuring the overall project I have gained many skills and learnt how to do many things I didn’t know before I started the project. I believe one off my strongest subjects would be the modeller even though I found it to be complicated at first I got around it and begin to develop new skill and learn the basics off modelling. I think one off the hardest things I tackled was learning how to create an object which consisted off curves and bumps I found it to be difficult at first due to the fact that I had no experience using the software but after completing the bat I had learnt new skill so I was able to create my sidekick much easier because off this.

Assignment Structure – Ask yourself the following questions:

Are you clear about the timescale available?I am perfectly clear about the time scale I have available and I do believe that I can reach my current deadline for my work. Do you understand what elements of the unit are being assessed?I do understand the elements off the units I also understand that all the assignments have to be there to complete the unit this is why I am currently working to my deadline.Do you understand the scenario and the reasons for carrying out the assignment?

I do understand the scenario and the reason for carrying out the assignment even though I may not agree with some aspects off the assignment I do believe that it does need to be done as soon as I possibly can.Have you visited the Second Life community and the SL Market Place? What are your impressions?I have visited the second life and I do believe it is a good community my impressions from this were pretty good and I found some features off this to be useful for the assignment so I do think it is a good and useful community. What is your goal for this assignment?My goal for the assignment is to get my work done to the highest possible slandered I can this is my goal for it.

Constraints – What is going to cause you problems in this project (technical, time, legal and ethical issues etc.) and what will you do to solve these problems?

During the project my only problem may be time the reason being for this is because I like to spend more time on certain parts of the assignment than others.
