Each person in the class must find an example of 3D Modeling to critique for the class. 
This example can be of a single model or a modeling demo reel.
The critique will be presented to the class as a whole, and should include visuals from several angles.  Wireframes, ambient occlusion passes, ‘turnarounds’ and other versions of the model will be useful in helping you to explain to us why you feel that this is exemplary.

You will be scored on your ability to communicate your perspective on what makes this a good (or bad) model.  The more information you can give us regarding the software, techniques, goals and purpose of the model, (how is it to be used?), the higher your score.
