Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare 3D digital models to a high level of finish, ready to use in a range of contexts.
It applies to individuals who prepare 3D digital models for use in animations, high-end games, virtual worlds or specialist digital resource materials in areas such as medicine, architecture, engineering and aeronautics. They work with minimum supervision and collaborate closely with other production team members, frequently under pressure, to deliver to schedule deadlines.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Pre-requisite Unit

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Clarify work requirements |
1.1 Identify requirements and purpose for 3D digital models with reference to production documentation 1.2 Determine work flow sequences in consultation with relevant personnel, to ensure production schedule deadlines are met 1.3 Select modelling technique that suits production requirements 1.4 Select digital modelling software that suits production, delivery platform and modelling technique |
2. Design and develop 3D models |
2.1 Use features of digital modelling software to build detailed 3D models that meet design and aesthetic requirements 2.2 Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time 2.3 Use software features and geometry to shape models and apply various effects to simulate physical realism in characters and environments as required 2.4 Use scripting language to enhance functionality of the models as required 2.5 Create controls that are logical and easy to use, if required 2.6 Check models have not infringed copyright 2.7 Liaise with other team members to ensure models relate to other aspects of the production 2.8 Refine and check integrity of models until they meet design requirements 2.9 Confirm with relevant personnel that production requirements have been met and make adjustments as required |
3. Finalise 3D digital models |
3.1 Test models to identify faults, and adjust as required 3.2 Render final models in appropriate output file formats 3.3 Make back-up copies of files, and save and store 3D models using standard naming conventions 3.4 Submit final models to relevant personnel for approval by agreed deadlines 3.5 Review own work and processes used for constructing 3D digital models and note areas for future improvement |
