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. Locate and identify the 3D application navigation controls | 1.1 Using chosen 3-D modelling and animation software, identify a range of 3-D navigation types, including panning, zooming and rotating around the viewport 1.2 Identify the methods of use for navigation, keyboard hotkeys and input procedures to improve user performance |
2. Locate and identify the 3D animation toolsets | 2.1 Identify the common toolsets of 3-D animation software 2.2 Identify and analyse the 3-D application menus, and specific category types 2.3 Use common 3-D application transformation types 2.4 Select and use, common 3-D application-specific toolset types |
3. Select and clarify appropriate menu categories for requirements | 3.1 Associate the menu categories as required for specific tasks 3.2 Consult with the relevant personnel, and use application hotkeys for superior application interaction |
4. Initiate and use application-support materials | 4.1 Identify and research the range of reference material available for use in creating 3-D animation and digital effects 4.2 Present the reference material for use in the 3-D animation process 4.3 Identify the native application support procedures 4.4 Access support documents and help files, through hotkey and application menus 4.5 In consultation with the relevant personnel, use support material as required |
5. Identify and plan 3-D application import and export procedures | 5.1 Discuss with relevant personnel application file-management procedure types, including opening, importing, saving and exporting 5.2 Discuss, and use, application project configuration procedures with the relevant personnel 5.3 Prepare and create projects as required |
6. Identify and use application feedback | 6.1 Discuss user application feedback with the relevant personnel 6.2 Use application feedback to troubleshoot error scenarios, as required 6.3 Use feedback with inbuilt support documentation, as required |
7. Customise application interface | 7.1 Identify variation of user interface windows and panels configurations 7.2 Use the custom interface for specific requirements based on toolset procedural needs |
Evidence of the ability to:
interact and navigate with 3-D application interface and toolsets
manage files to protocols
execute and use 3-D application native support
use 3-D application user feedback
configure custom panels and window configurations.
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 3-D animation production protocols
describe the contents and application of a production brief
outline the process for the development and recording of ideas
outline the protocols for filing media assets
outline fundamental research principles
discuss the principles of design and colour for use in 3-D animation and digital effects environments
outline the procedures for producing a storyboard and script
discuss the technical constraints that hardware and software impose on graphics requirements and creative visual design.
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:
reference materials
appropriate computer hardware and software
games engines
file storage.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
