FIT1033 – Foundations of 3D Monash University – Faculty of Information Technology FIT1033 – FOUNDATIONS OF 3D Documentation Guide Supporting documentation is an important part for many IT projects, providing colleagues, clients and assessors a behind the scenes look of how the final product came to completion. The documentation component of the FIT1033 assignments provide you the opportunity to showcase your planning, decisions, problems, solutions and your workflow. If you are unsure how to go about doing effective documentation for your assignment here are several guiding points to help you along. Documentation Tips: Straight to the point Documentation does not need to be overly long or thorough. Try to summarise the key aspects and milestones of the project and convey as much information as you can in as few words as possible. More is not always better. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again It is very unlikely you will pull off your modelling attempts first time round. The early phase of planning should always involve some experimentation, failure and redoes. This is all part of the process and should be documented along with what went wrong and possibly how it could be improved. A picture is worth a thousand words You do not always need to be overly wordy to get your point across. Consider using a simple labelled screenshot to show what you are trying to convey with a brief paragraph underneath the image. If the computer you are using has Windows consider using the Snipping Tool for taking cropped screenshots of your work. Don’t leave out anything important. The FIT1033 assignments can generally be broken down into several phases, such as research, planning, modelling, lighting, texturing and rendering. Try not to over emphasise one phase of the project at the expense of another or leave out a major component of the project. Formatting and readability One final important point along with the actual content is how clear and easily read your documentation is. Go through it yourself and ask, is it formatted well and is the information presented clearly? Is the story easy to follow? Consider researching how other documents are formatted as a guide.
