Unit of Competency ICTGAM413 - Design and create 3-D digital models
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and create 3-D models.It applies to individuals who design, develop and use digital media technologies, working independently or as part of a larger development team.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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:

computer hardware and software

games engines

file storage.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

  • Create the prototypes of 3-D models
       
Element: Create 3-D digital models
  • Use software features to block out models, to determine the correct proportions related to reference materials
  • Manipulate software features to apply basic lighting and shaders, as required
  • 3.3 Ensure that models' topology allows appropriate deformation, as required
  • Progressively refine and check the integrity of models until they meet the design requirements
  • Submit the models to the relevant personnel for comment regarding whether the production requirements have been met, and make final adjustments as required
  • Render and output the models in the required format, and submit them to the relevant personnel by the agreed deadlines
  • Make backup copies of the files and complete the workplace documentation, according to enterprise procedures
       


Evidence Required

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.

3.7 Make backup copies of the files and complete the workplace documentation, according to enterprise procedures

Evidence of the ability to:

design, create and store 3-D digital models that meet work, design and production requirements

communicate with personnel to clarify initial requirements, including deadlines, and to receive feedback about models.

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:

describe the principles of 3-D digital modelling and design

outline the stages in the production process, from the initial design through to the finished product

describe the common issues and challenges that arise in the context of designing and creating 3-D digital models

outline the roles and responsibilities of project team members in the development of digital models

outline the features of a range of delivery platforms

discuss geometry as it applies to the design and creation of realistic 3-D digital models

discuss the use of scale, form, weight and volume in the development of 3-D digital models.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
