Technical

Scene uncluttered, grouped under on node, all files handed in

One or two small errors in technical requirements

Several errors in technical requirements

Many errors in technical requirements

Project incomplete

In-class discussion of object

Brought object(s) to class. Demonstrated prior analysis of possible modeling techniques and workflow.

Brought object(s) to class.  Had some ideas about technique.

Brought object(s) to class.  Few ideas about where to begin.

Object clearly chosen without much thought and/or is inappropriate.

No object brought to class

Accuracy and representation

Model includes all major parts of target object. Shape and proportion are consistent with real object.

Includes most parts of object. Most shape and proportion consistent with real object

Some major parts of object missing.  Some shapes and proportions inaccurate.

Many parts of model missing.  Many shapes and proportions inaccurate.

Model doesn’t resemble real object.

Lightweight

Model includes appropriate geometry for the complexity of the object in all parts.

Model is mostly light weight; may have 1 or 2 areas that are too sparse or too dense.

Many parts have too little or too much detail.

Most of model has inappropriate amounts of geometry.

Geometry for entire model is not appropriate to its complexity.

Rounded edges

Edges are rounded or beveled where appropriate.

One or two edges or joints are not appropriately rounded.

Many areas where edges are not finessed.

Attention to edge detail missing from most of model.

No attention to edges.

Integrity: single shell, edge flow

Model is one surface per part of object. No surfaces intersect for a particular part. No obvious cracks or seams. 

A few integrity problems such as intersection or cracks.  Some non-quad polys or less optimal edge flow.

Multiple intersecting surfaces or cracks.  Care not taken to create single surface.

 

Model contains many primitives that have not been finessed. Many problem areas.

Model missing faces, connections.  Contains unconnected parts.
