Aim:

To compile, document, and present your top 3 3D design projects using visuals, descriptions, and reflections.

Requirements

• Blender renders or screenshots of 3D designs

• Presentation tool: Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Canva

• Reflection notebook or printed worksheet for writing project insights

• Optional: Short video clips or printed images for display

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Select Your Best Designs

Go through all your past projects — from Lesson 1 to Lesson 5.
Pick three designs that best show:

• Creativity: Unique or interesting concept

• Functionality: Solves a problem or helps someone

• Improvement: Shows how you refined the idea

Write a few notes on why each project made it to your top three.

Step 2: Capture High-Quality Renders

In Blender:

1. Open each design and set up simple lighting and camera view.

2. Capture renders from multiple angles — top, side, and perspective.

3. Use neutral backgrounds to keep the focus on your model.

4. Save each render as a .PNG or .JPG file with clear names (e.g., pen_holder_final.png).

Optional: Add annotations or labels to highlight key features (like handle, hinge, or stand).

Step 3: Reflect on Each Design

For each project, write a short reflection answering these questions:

This step helps you understand your design thinking — and communicate it clearly to others.

Step 4: Build Your Portfolio Slides

In Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Canva:

1. Title Page: Add your name, class, and portfolio title (e.g., My 3D Design Showcase).

2. Introduction Slide: A short paragraph about your design journey.

3. Project Slides (x3):

   • Include rendered images (top, side, and perspective views).

   • Add project title (e.g., Desk Organizer for Students).

   • Write your reflection summary (from Step 3).

   • Mention tools used and skills learned.

4. Conclusion Slide: Reflect on your overall journey — what inspired you, what challenged you, and what’s next.

Optional: Add a QR code to your Sketchfab or 3D sharing link.

Step 5: Present Your Portfolio

Now, share your creative journey!
You can present in any of these ways:

• Class Presentation: Show slides and explain each design briefly.

• Exhibition Display: Print renders and mount them on a board.

• Digital Showcase: Upload your portfolio online (Google Drive, Canva, or school blog).

Use confident, clear speech when presenting:

“This design solves the problem of messy desks. I used the Boolean and Scale tools to create custom slots for pens and clips.”

Step 6: Peer Review and Reflection

After presenting:

• Ask classmates or mentors for feedback.

• Note what impressed them and what could improve next time.

• Add a short reflection page at the end:
  
  
  “The most challenging part was modeling curves. I improved by practicing the Extrude tool. Next time, I’ll try adding textures and lighting.”
  

This makes your portfolio more authentic and reflective.
