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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Digitally render 3-D models of small-scale building design project to photo-realistic quality. | 1.1. | 3-D models are imported into rendering software applications as required and objects are separated and saved according to workplace procedures. |
| 1.2. | Material finishes are sourced or created using software functions, and applied to objects according to project and workplace requirements. |
| 1.3. | Rendering is edited to ensure that clarity and accuracy of detail are retained when 3-D model is transferred to different applications. |
| 1.4. | Light and shade requirements are analysed and realistic lighting effects for night and day are created by editing individual light parameters. |
2. | Digitally animate 3-D models. | 2.1. | Animation requirements are analysed and animation storyboards are created using formats suitable for project contexts. |
| 2.2. | Camera paths and pan camera locations are determined to produce optimal displays of models according to project and workplace requirements. |
| 2.3. | Lighting levels and sequences for animations are determined to meet storyboard requirements. |
| 2.4. | Fly-by or walk-through animation sequences are created for all camera paths and pan cameras, including animation of objects within scenes. |
| | 2.5. | Animation presentation parameters are determined and applied to suit different project contexts. |
| | 2.6. | Animation sequences are combined and edited to produce completed animations that meet project requirements. |
3. | Present rendered animations of 3-D models to clients. | 3.1. | Rendered animations of 3-D models are presented and explained to client according to workplace procedures. |
| 3.2. | Hard copy images of specified views are presented and explained to client as required. |
| 3.3. | Client feedback is encouraged and incorporated into animations. |
| 3.4. | Files for finalised animations are saved and processed according to project and workplace requirements. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit.
The person must also produce rendered animations for digital three-dimensional (3-D) models that meet client expectations and workplace requirements for three different projects, consisting of:
one Class 1 residential building of three storeys
one residential extension of at least 50 square metres
one of the following non-residential projects, which must be of a maximum area of 2000 square metres:
incorporating Classes 2, 5, 6 and 7a
incorporating Classes 3 and 9c
incorporating Classes 7b and 8.
In doing the above, the person must:
create storyboards
use information technology and 3-D modelling, rendering and animation software
present animations of a range of building designs to clients, including:
explaining design using terms suitable for clients’ understanding
encouraging and responding to questions and feedback.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
architectural styles and terminology that apply to the projects specified in the performance evidence
types of contextual and site constraints to be reflected in animations
conventional and sustainable construction materials and methods, including their application, behaviour, characteristics, performance and interactions with other materials
design drawing and representation methods
digital file management procedures
functions and operation of 3-D modelling rendering and animation software programs
hazards of site, materials, construction practices and building use over its life cycle
legislation, codes and standards that apply to sustainable design requirements for small-scale building design projects specified in the performance evidence, including the work health and safety (WHS) duties of designers
organisational scope of business, service levels and fees relating to animation process
principles of design, including sustainable design
scientific and social principles of human interactions with the built environment.
The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:
equipment:
computer with internet access and building information modelling (BIM)-capable building design software
contingencies:
issues with accuracy of detail when 3-D model is transferred to different applications
specifications:
access to information regarding compliance requirements
relationship with client:
client liaison is required.
Timeframe:
according to project schedule.
Assessor requirements
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.
