Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Research common industry practices for texturing a 3-D environment
   • Research, identify and describe the methods of texture creation and texture mapping
   • Choose a suitable graphics software to create textures
   • Document the design considerations for texturing a 3-D environment
2. Create a basic 3-D environment
   • Use 3-D modelling and animation software
   • Create simple 3-D objects
   • Place the objects in a 3-D environment
   • Apply inbuilt lighting effects to the 3-D environment
3. Create multiple textures to apply to the 3-D environment
   • Use graphics software
   • Apply industry-standard methods to create the textures
   • Create textures to establish the look, and the feel, of the 3-D environment
4. Apply multiple texture effects to a 3-D environment
   • Load the textures into the 3-D animation and modelling software
   • Apply the textures to colour the 3-D objects and environment
   • Use texture-mapping techniques to create multiple texture effects for a single 3-D object
   • Employ 3-D animation and modelling software to render an image of the 3-D environment

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

research, select and document suitable techniques and software to create texturing for a 3-D environment

use modelling and animation software to create 3-D objects in a 3-D environment

use graphics software to create multiple textures appropriate for a 3-D environment

produce a final rendered image of a 3-D environment that incorporates multiple texture effects for a single 3-D object.

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

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

summarise the technology and human resources required in the process of creating textures for the 3-D environment

discuss the capabilities and constraints of graphics software for texturing

provide a detailed summary of the methods of texture creation and texture mapping

explain the design considerations for texturing including resource limitations and constraints, and target markets.
