ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Analyse the rendering requirements

1.1 Identify the equipment and media required for the project

1.2 Identify the features of the rendering software packages used in the film and games industries

1.3 Analyse the design brief, or other reference sources, to plan and determine the rendering requirements

2. Select a suitable rendering application to achieve desired appearance

2.1 Select the rendering software with the capability to achieve the desired effects within the timeframe and budget

2.2 Confirm that the selection is according to the brief, system limitations and requirements

3. Prepare rendering application for desired outcome

3.1 Select and apply the appropriate image resolutions, image aspect ratio, and pixel ratio

3.2 Adjust the renderer attributes to obtain desired anti-aliasing

3.3 Adjust the renderer attributes to obtain other desired visual effects

4. Check the render integrity and quality

4.1 Refine the render integrity

4.2 Re-link any missing images and textures

4.3 Test the render times for optimising process

4.4 Test the alpha channels and opacity matts

4.5 Test the render layers and passes

5. Optimise the images for render processes

5.1 Complete pre-rendering optimisation tasks

5.2 Adjust and refine renderer attributes to optimise render times

5.3 Select the appropriate file format for output, according to the brief

5.4 Select the appropriate filenames and output destinations

6. Render the images and save files appropriately

6.1 Undertake the final rendering processes

6.2 Store or archive the files

6.3 Review the completed render to ensure compliance with the system and the brief

6.4 Confirm the rendering with the relevant personnel

Skill 

Performance Criteria 

Description 

Reading

1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 6.3

• Interprets a design brief containing complex games-design terminology
• Interprets and comprehends a large range of diagrams, icons, symbols, text and letters necessary to use complex rendering software

Oral Communication

1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.2, 6.4

• Uses effective listening and questioning techniques to obtain information about the design brief, system limitations, software capabilities, and requirements
• Presents rendering outcomes using industry-specific terminology

Numeracy

1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1-3.3, 4.1-4.5, 5.1-5.3, 6.3

• Uses whole numbers, decimals and percentages relevant to measurement, resolution aspect ratio, pixel ratio, scale, coordinates, colour, shading, and other attributes/variables in the application of rendering
• Interprets numerical information and applies basic mathematical calculations relating to the timelines and budgetary information

Interact with others

6.4

• Collaborates with others as required to confirm rendering output is acceptable

Get the work done

All

• Applies formal processes when planning the rendering requirements, producing plans with logically sequenced steps that reflect awareness of time and resource constraints
• Implements actions as per the plan, making slight adjustments if necessary
• Recognises and takes responsibility for addressing predictable, and some less predictable problems in familiar work contexts
• Understands the key principles and concepts underpinning the design and operation, of digital systems and tools
• Manages and maintains files securely in a variety of storage media and formats
