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 Clarify the requirements and purpose for the design, and creation, of 3-D digital models, with reference to the production documentation 1.2 Clarify organisational guidelines and work flow sequences to ensure that the production schedule deadlines are met with the relevant personnel 1.3 Select the software that best suits the type of production and delivery platform for which 3-D digital models are being designed and created 1.4 Gather and analyse reference materials to help with the design and visualisation of 3-D models |
2. Design 3-D digital models | 2.1 Design, and sketch, the concept drafts of a 3-D model 2.2 Create the concept art for 3-D models 2.3 Create the prototypes of 3-D models |
3. Create 3-D digital models | 3.1 Use software features to block out models, to determine the correct proportions related to reference materials 3.2 Manipulate software features to apply basic lighting and shaders, as required 3.3 Ensure that models' topology allows appropriate deformation, as required 3.4 Progressively refine and check the integrity of models until they meet the design requirements 3.5 Submit the models to the relevant personnel for comment regarding whether the production requirements have been met, and make final adjustments as required 3.6 Render and output the models in the required format, and submit them to the relevant personnel by the agreed deadlines 3.7 Make backup copies of the files and complete the workplace documentation, according to enterprise procedures |
Evidence of the ability to:
design, create and store 3-D digital models that meet work, design and production requirements
communicate with personnel to clarify initial requirements, including deadlines, and to receive feedback about models.
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:
describe the principles of 3-D digital modelling and design
outline the stages in the production process, from the initial design through to the finished product
describe the common issues and challenges that arise in the context of designing and creating 3-D digital models
outline the roles and responsibilities of project team members in the development of digital models
outline the features of a range of delivery platforms
discuss geometry as it applies to the design and creation of realistic 3-D digital models
discuss the use of scale, form, weight and volume in the development of 3-D digital models.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the game development field of work, and include access to:
computer hardware and software
games engines
file storage.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
