Project Information
Skill Performance
The contest is a two-person event assessing the ability of the team to produce high quality images
and an animated short subject using 3-D computerized images. A practical visual design problem will
be given, the scope of which should be viable within the seven-hour practical competition period. The
problem will consist of a topic to communicate, its context and target audience, a rough script to
follow, and an emotion or graphical effect that should be illuminated in the still and animated output.

2016 SkillsUSA Florida - State Contestant Tool List & Information
Contest Guidelines
1. Preparation of the animation must include the development of a storyboard. However, in the
real world the final output is of paramount importance and the storyboard only a means to that
end. So, the storyboarding process will be used to judge:
a. Teamwork skills
b. Ability to creatively reach consensus on
c. Design solution
d. Ability to organize their efforts
e. Ability to verbally and visually express ideas between team members and to the client
(in this case, the judges)
2. Three to five still images from varied scenes and perspectives must be rendered in medium
resolution (640x480 pixels to 1024x768 pixels) and true color (24, 32 or 64 bits per pixel) and
submitted to the judges’ station on a USB drive or other acceptable media at the completion of
the practical competition. Still images must be output to either: TIF(F), TGA, PNG or JPG.
These images should clearly show superiority in modeling, texturing, lighting and composition.
3. Render animation at low resolution (approximately 320 x 200 pixels) and medium color depth
(16 bit) for playback (with a minimum length of 10-second/300 frames). Animation must be
output to either Microsoft Movie (AVI) or Macintosh Quicktime (MOV) files and submitted to the
judge’s station on a USB drive or other acceptable media at the completion of the practical
competition. The animation should clearly show superiority in composition, staging and the use
of motion and object manipulation over time. Anticipation and scene transitions, object
stretching and squashing and/or other techniques should be employed to create a sense of
realism or graphic impact as defined by the visual design problem.
4. During the contest, the contestants will work as a team. No assistance will be given by other
teams, instructors or observers. Limited technical assistance for computer or software
malfunction may be given by appropriate manufacturers’ representatives.
5. Teams will each be given the same amount of time to accomplish the problem.
6. Everyone will begin at the same time and take a required lunch break, and no one will be
allowed to work past the contest conclusion.
7. The technical committee reserves the right to videotape the animation.
8. The technical committee will be responsible for not only developing the problem for the
competition, but also for developing the evaluation tool by which to objectively measure
competitors’ performance. Judging criteria will be general in nature and will be done from the
completed storyboard, still images and animation. Specific criteria will be based on the
demonstration of competency in those elements of design, animation and clearly depicting the
theme. Emphasis in judging will be placed on the graphical impact and effectiveness in
addressing the design problem. Some areas for consideration include:
a. Planning: The storyboarding process, the degree to which the output images/animation
clearly and creatively communicates the solution to the problem without the benefit of
support materials.
b. Modeling: Creation of 3-D objects. The degree to which the animation realistically and
accurately portrays something about the problem.
c. Animating: Defined motion of objects
d. Rendering: Final rendered output. A quality measured in terms of how well directions
are followed in telling the “story,” the visual impact of the problem solution and the
Page | 5
2016 SkillsUSA Florida - State Contestant Tool List & Information
judge’s assessment of the design, revision, final editing and presentation of the design
problem’s solution.
e. Originality: Creative techniques
f. Illustration of the theme: An overall measurement of the distinctiveness of submitted
output, including the degree to which the use of technology, aesthetics, lighting and
composition demonstrates development of a superior product.
The setup, configuration and tear-down of all contestant-provided equipment will be the responsibility
of the team.

Note: If you have any problems installing the software, please contact our tech support department for help.
Bob Harrison – [email protected] or [email protected]
Contest specific information is provided below.
Automated Manufacturing Technology contestants are required to bring two computers. (3 will be
allowed in order to load the CNC Motion simulation software) One computer should be loaded with the
CAD software, the other computer should be loaded with the CAM software. The functionality and
licensing of the CAD and CAM software packages are the sole responsibility of the contestants. Note
that this competition will require the use of the CNC Motion software to simulate the final CNC code

teams to state contests unless otherwise approved by the state director.
SKILLS PERFORMANCE: Teams will demonstrate communication skills, team work, problem solving
and time management skills by determining and presenting the answer to each question clearly within
the five-second time frame.
Each team shall have 3-5 members. In the event of 3 or 4 member teams. The lowest written test
score of the team will count as proxy for the 4th and/or 5th member.
Each team shall have a captain. The captain will be the official “spokesman” for the team. Only
captains can say the final answer and only captains can file a challenge.
There will be three rounds of 25 questions each. There will be no time limit.
The facilitator will ask questions. Questions will only be asked one time. Once a buzzard has
been activated by a team, the facilitator will stop reading the question. The team will have 5
seconds to answer.
Once the team activates the buzzard, it must wait to be recognized by the facilitator before
giving the answer.
Any member of the team can activate the buzzard, but only the captain will submit the answer.
Once the buzzard has been activated, teams will have 5 seconds to answer. Teams may
converse within themselves
If the team answers correctly, one point will be awarded to the team. If the team answers
incorrectly, One point will be deducted from the team score. The team is only allowed to
answer once per question. The first answer given is the final answer.
In the event of an incorrect answer, unless another team buzzes in before the facilitator has
completed the question, the moderator will re-read the question until the question is complete.
The question cannot be repeated except upon request of a judge. Teams will have ten
seconds from the time the facilitator is done reading the question to respond
Facilitator will relay the correct answer in the event that no team answers correctly
If the facilitator inadvertently gives away the answer the question is voided and an alternate
question is read from the alternate list.
The judge(s) will have the final say as pertaining to a correct/incorrect answer.
Teams may not use cell phones, notes, reference materials, calculators or any type of
electronics. Blank Paper will be provided, and teams can bring their own pencils.

In the event that a team believes that an incorrect answer was accepted or a correct answer
was not accepted, it many offer a challenge. Only the team captain can submit a challenge
and only at the point in which they occur. Challenges may not be made once the next question
is read. Team captains will raise their hands before the next question is read to submit a
challenge. The judges will have the final say. If a team that submits a challenge is correct,
scores will reflect the correct score. If a team that submits the challenge is proved wrong that
team shall be deducted a point. Challenge with caution.
