Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and create models for a 3-D and digital effects environment using complex topology, specified geometry surfaces and advanced model builds.It applies to those with high-level mathematical, technical and communication skills working as concept artists, game designers, games programmers, animators and other personnel working in the game development industry.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare and plan 3-D modelling process
  • 1.1 Obtain project brief and identify 3-D model requirements and user needs according to organisational procedures
