Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Create the 3-D environment

  1. Implement basic geometry, flow and layout
  2. Separate each section of the environment into key parts and choose a focal point for the environment
  3. Incorporate detail into the focal point of the level
  4. Use the focal points to set a reference for the rest of the environment
  5. Integrate the geometry, texturing, and place the models
  6. Carry out a detailed pass of the entire environment
  7. Set up the exterior lighting and then the interior lighting
  8. Incorporate any sound and particle effects, and perform optimisation, if required

implement design requirements into a working 3-D environment

create working interactions between the user and the environment

deliver a finished 3-D environment and report on design decisions to others.

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:

summarise the budgeting and scheduling considerations for game design

discuss the process used to develop computer games
