Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to create 3D digital models. This unit is a prerequisite for:
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
3D modellers working on relatively simple projects apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit. From reference material and established designs, they create 3D models using whatever software is applicable to the production. 3D models need to meet technical and design specifications, as well as being efficient, reliable, to scale, and easy to rig and animate. Modellers need to appreciate what will be required of their models in later stages of production because this can affect the work they produce. Close liaison with other team members is, therefore, important. Even though a senior modeller or technical director supervises the creation of models, people at this level are expected to work autonomously within clear guidelines. More complex skills associated with 3D digital modelling are covered in:

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Clarify work requirements |
1. With reference to production documentation , clarify requirements and purpose for 3D digital models 2. In consultation with relevant personnel , clarify work flow sequences to ensure that production schedule deadlines are met 3. Select software that best suits the type of production and delivery platform for which 3D digital models are being created 4. Gather and analyse reference materials to help with visualisation of 3D models |
Create 3D digital models |
5. Use software features to block out models to determine correct proportions in relation to reference materials 6. Manipulate software features to apply basic lighting and shaders as required 7. Ensure that models' topology allows appropriate deformation, as required 8. Progressively refine and check integrity of models until they meet design requirements 9. Submit models to relevant personnel for comment on whether production requirements have been met and make final adjustments as required 10. Render and output models in required format and submit to relevant personnel by agreed deadlines 11. Make back-up copies of files and complete workplace documentation according to enterprise procedures |
