Elements and Performance Criteria
- Clarify work requirements
- Identify requirements and purpose for 3D digital models with reference to production documentation
- Determine work flow sequences in consultation with relevant personnel, to ensure production schedule deadlines are met
- Select modelling technique that suits production requirements
- Select digital modelling software that suits production, delivery platform and modelling technique
- Design and develop 3D models
- Use features of digital modelling software to build detailed 3D models that meet design and aesthetic requirements
- 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 to simulate physical realism in characters and environments as required
- Use scripting language to enhance functionality of the models as required
- Create controls that are logical and easy to use, if required
- Check models have not infringed copyright
- Liaise with other team members to ensure models relate to other aspects of the production
- Refine and check integrity of models until they meet design requirements
- Confirm with relevant personnel that production requirements have been met and make adjustments as required
- Finalise 3D digital models
- Test models to identify faults, and adjust as required
- Render final models in appropriate output file formats
- Make back-up copies of files, and save and store 3D models using standard naming conventions
- Submit final models to relevant personnel for approval by agreed deadlines
- Review own work and processes used for constructing 3D digital models and note areas for future improvement
