Elements and Performance Criteria
- Clarify work requirements
- Clarify requirements and purpose for 3D digital models with reference to production documents
- Clarify workflow sequences in consultation with relevant personnel to ensure production schedule deadlines are met
- Clarify with relevant personnel the modelling technique that suits production requirements
- Discuss and select digital modelling software with relevant personnel that suits production delivery platform and modelling techniques
- Gather and analyse reference materials to help visualise 3D models
- Develop 3D digital models
- Use software features and apply modelling principles to block out models based on reference materials
- Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time
- Use software features and geometry to shape models and apply various effects as required
- Check that models’ topology allows appropriate deformation as required
- Refine and check integrity of models progressively until they meet design requirements
- Finalise 3D digital models
- Review 3D models to ensure creative solutions meet design specifications
- Discuss and confirm with relevant personnel additional requirements or modifications to 3D models and undertake necessary amendments
- Render and output models in appropriate format and submit to relevant personnel by agreed deadlines
- Make back-up copies of files, and save and store 3D models using standard naming conventions
