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!

ICTGAM526 - Create complex 3-D characters for games

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Clarify work requirements

  1. Identify the design requirements based on the project brief and documents
  2. Using the design requirements, conceptualise the appropriate characters for the game environments, design, level specifications and genre
  3. Gather and analyse the reference materials to help with the design, and visualisation, of 3-D character models
  4. Ensure that any missing requirements are considered and included in the design
