Dissertation note: College of Industrial Education..- Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education major in Animation: Technological University of the Philippines, 2025. Summary: This Design-Based Research (DBR) project focused on improving students' creativity in lighting techniques for 3D animation, where learners experience difficulties using Blender's features. Existing approaches, such as traditional learning, have not fully resolved this problem, underscoring the need for an intervention that better supports creative and accurate lighting application. Guided by the research question "How to design, develop, refine, and evaluate the Light Simulator Diorama (LSD) that addresses the challenges and supplements creativity in 3D lighting techniques?", this study aims to design, test, and refine an instructional solution that addresses these challenges. The design was guided by Constructivist Learning Theory, which emphasizes that people understand and remember best when facts and skills are embedded in natural visual memory, and that experiential learning is far more effective. The research was conducted at the Technological University of the Philippines Manila with 4th-year BTVTED Animation students, using an iterative DBR approach. Furthermore, the study used purposive sampling for each phase with varying sample sizes. Across cycles, patterns such as the use of light switches and the variety of light colors emerged, shaping a more effective version of the intervention. The final design principles emphasize direct manipulation, genre flexibility, and basic navigation, offering guidance for future implementation. This study demonstrates that LSD can supplement creativity in lighting techniques for 3D animation, addressing the challenges faced by BTVTED Animation students. However, the LSD needs further expansion in terms of lighting control systems. In line with this, future developers may upgrade this limitation.
