Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to produce rendered and animated fly-bys and walk-throughs of three-dimensional (3-D) models for small-scale building design projects covered by the Building Code of Australia (BCA), except construction Type A buildings. It also covers demonstrating and discussing the rendered animations with clients and stakeholders.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Digitally render 3-D models to photo-realistic quality
  • 1.1 3-D models of small-scale building design projects are imported into rendering software applications as required and objects are separated and saved according to workplace procedures.
  • 1.2 Material finishes are sourced or created using software functions, and applied to objects according to project and workplace requirements.
  • 1.3 Rendering is edited to ensure clarity, and accuracy of detail is retained when 3-D model is transferred to different applications.
  • 1.4 Light and shade requirements are analysed and realistic lighting effects for night and day are created by editing individual light parameters.
2 Digitally animate 3-D models.
  • 2.1 Animation requirements are analysed and animation storyboards created using formats appropriate to project contexts.
  • 2.2 Camera paths and pan camera locations are determined to produce optimal displays of models according to project and workplace requirements.
  • 2.3 Lighting levels and sequences for animations are determined to meet storyboard requirements.
  • 2.4 Fly-by or walk-through animation sequences are created for all camera paths and pan cameras, including animation of objects within scenes.
  • 2.5 Animation presentation parameters are determined and applied to suit different project contexts.
  • 2.6 Animation sequences are combined and edited to produce completed animations that meet project requirements.
3 Present rendered animations to clients
  • 3.1 Rendered animations of 3-D models are presented and explained to client according to workplace procedures.
  • 3.2 Hard copy images of specified views are presented and explained to client as required.
  • 3.3 Client feedback is encouraged and incorporated into animations.
  • 3.4 Files for finalised animations are saved and processed according to project and workplace requirements.
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
A person should demonstrate the ability to:
produce rendered animations for digital 3-D models of a range of building designs that meet client expectations and workplace requirements
present animations of a range of building designs to clients, including:
explaining design using terms appropriate to clients’ understanding
encouraging and answering questions and feedback.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment of this unit:
must be in the context of the work environment
may be conducted in an off-site context, provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills
must meet relevant compliance requirements.
Resource implications for assessment include:
access to:
suitable assessment venue and equipment
suitable simulated or real opportunities and resources to demonstrate competence
assessment instruments.
Method of assessment
Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using one or more of the following methods:
written and/or oral assessment of the candidates required knowledge for the unit
observed, documented and/or firsthand testimonial evidence of the candidates
implementation of appropriate procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient achievement of the required outcomes
identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes
identification of viable options and the selection of options that best meet the required outcomes
consistently achieving the required outcomes.
Guidance information for assessment
This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
