Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify the technologies to be used with 3-D games development
   • Discuss and decide on 3-D modelling software for the production of designs, and ramifications of choice with the relevant personnel
   • Discuss and decide on 2-D image-editing software for textures with relevant personnel
   • Establish 3-D production considerations for available computer hardware
2. Develop design documentation for 3-D effects
   • Establish a theme for design, and determine the required modelling assets
   • Create a file archiving system for the storage of 3-D components, models and versions
   • Establish the project development pipeline and production deadlines, to meet assessment dates
3. Develop and create storyboards
   • Create a storyline for animation
   • Develop storyboard that implements the storyline document
   • Review and finalise the storyboard document for implementation
4. Develop and create projects
   • Create a new document and conduct the creation of models as outlined in the production pipeline, theme, and storyboard documents
   • Archive the project as specified by the assignment criteria for submission

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

use discussion to identify the most appropriate technology for 3-D games development

create and develop design documents for 3-D effects, including timelines for completion and file archiving system

develop and use a storyline and storyboard to produce a 3-D games project.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
