List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Clarify work requirements | 1.1 Determine requirements and purpose for 3D digital environments with reference to production documentation 1.2 Determine workflow sequences in consultation with relevant personnel to ensure production schedule deadlines are met 1.3 Select software that best suits the type of production and delivery platform for which 3D digital environments are being created 1.4 Gather and analyse reference materials to help with visualisation of 3D environments |
2. Create 3D digital environments | 2.1 Use software features to build a previsualisation of environments in relation to reference materials, and submit to relevant personnel for approval 2.2 Build realistically detailed environment models and progressively refine them until they meet design requirements 2.3 Check integrity of models and ensure spatial relationship (scale, form, weight and volume) meets design requirements 2.4 Apply texture coordinates as required 2.5 Create and incorporate matte paintings as required 2.6 Manipulate software features to apply lighting and shaders as required 2.7 Experiment with different lighting rigs and select a rig that meets design requirements 2.8 Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time 2.9 Continuously refine all aspects of 3D digital environments until required creative effect is achieved 2.10 Submit environments to relevant personnel for feedback on whether production requirements have been met and make final adjustments as required |
3. Finalise projects | 3.1 Render and output environments in required format and submit to relevant personnel by agreed deadlines 3.2 Make back-up copies of files, and save and store animations using appropriate output file formats and standard naming conventions 3.3 Participate in project evaluations and contribute ideas and suggestions about ways to improve future projects |
Evidence of the ability to:
create detailed 3D digital environments that meet design requirements and production deadlines
apply a range of modelling techniques to achieve creative and realistic effects
select and use proficiently appropriate animation software to achieve product outcomes
store 3D environments in appropriate file formats using industry naming conventions
participate productively in project evaluation for improvement
work collaboratively with others in a production team to achieve project outcomes.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
outline typical challenges of creating digital environments and how to handle these
identify and describe digital modelling techniques used in development of 3D environments
explain the importance of scale, form, weight and volume in the realistic construction of 3D environments
explain the concept of integrity in modelling 3D environments
identify relevant work health and safety standards that apply to working with computers and keyboards for extended periods of time.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
production documentation
animation software
interaction with others.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
