DCG 2016

Guess who's back...
Just wondering, for output 1 and 2, can your sketches be scanned in? I know for output 3 they must be done directly onto the page.

Limerickham

Yeah, scan away. Be sure to mention that they're your original artwork in your referencing (or that absolutely EVERYTHING that isn't yours is referenced )

carefulnowted

Oh thank god...brief moment of panic there! And (stupid question coming up) how do you reference the images? A link to the web page or something?

carefulnowted

Could some kind soul tell me whether the DCG portfolio has to be handed up in physical page format or if it is handed in on a CD? I'm talking about output 1,2,3 etc, not output 4 and 8.

Not sure what your reference to 4&8 means but all pages must be printed out into a portfolio. With a CD or memory stick attached with a copy of everything on it. Plus a back up cd left in the school.

The printed portfolio and memory stick does not get returned after

carefulnowted

A copy of everything, including output 3 and stuff, on the memory stick? Thanks very much, by the way, I was just worrying over scanning pictures for output 7

seavill

Yes. Your printed portfolio contains outputs 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9. It must be the original sketches only on outputs 3&8 any other sketches can be scanned if you choose.

Then all physical pages must also be in electronic copy on the memory stick also. Including a scanned version of 3 and 8.

Plus all your solid works files for outputs 4 and 9

carefulnowted

Got it. Thanks a million for your help

What format do you save them in..d school uses solidworks education version but I use 2016 solidworks. Would d 2016 version be ok.

Am repeating but my dcg classes clash with maths so I'm pretty much doing dcg at home

seavill

Well the official answer is it must be done in school on the school computers.

Taken from instructions to candidates
"completed in school under the supervision of the class teacher."

I'm assuming that your version is the free student version you got from the school. I know on older versions you didn't have access to photo realistic on that. Will cause a problem for you down the road if that is the case.

The student version is a newer version than the school version I would imagine so if that is the case you won't be able to do anything about it. You can only just save at home and submit that as you can't open a future version file in school if the school version is 2015 for example.

They will all be the same file types regardless of whether you save them in school or at home.
Whether the examiner will have the 2915 or 2016 version may be the place you may run into an issue but you won't know that until after really.

Has your teacher agreed to sign off on you doing it at home? Obviously as per the rules they shouldn't. But if you haven't asked that yet you need to get on it straight away

Thanks..my version isn't the student version but the full 2016 version. Will have to get on it. Not back till d 9th . So if I have to do it in d school I'll be under pressure
