Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop intermediate 3-D software for games or interactive media.It applies to individuals working as programmers who support the design, development and programming of interactive 3-D media and digital games as part of a larger development team.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Build a 3-D application using a provided framework or engine
  • 1.1 Employ integrated development environment facilities to include existing 3-D libraries suitable for games or interactive media production
  • 1.2 Use existing library facilities and appropriate language, to facilitate the configuration of a 3-D environment compatible with a specified platform
  • 1.3 Instantiate virtual objects in a simple 3-D environment
  • 1.4 Create mesh primitives using 3-D library routines
  • 1.5 Generate code to manipulate 3-D objects, including cameras, lights and mesh primitives
  • 1.6 Import pre-constructed meshes from persistent storage into a 3-D environment, using scripts or library routines
  • 1.7 Apply class inheritance to modify or extend existing 3-D class
  • 1.8 Select and apply, exception handling techniques to ensure program stability in a simple 3-D environment
2. Create a graphical user interface (GUI) for a 3-D environment
  • 2.1 Employ integrated development environment facilities to include existing 3-D compatible graphical user interface (GUI) controls suitable for games, or interactive media production
  • 2.2 Combine predefined GUI elements to create a simple interface for a 3-D environment
  • 2.3 Modify scripts or code to customise existing GUI elements
  • 2.4 Write code that processes events raised by a GUI in a 3-D environment
  • 2.5 Create GUI events to modify the configuration of a simple 3-D environment
3. Debug a 3-D application
  • 3.1 Use stand-alone debugging tools, or tools provided by an integrated development environment, to examine variables and trace running code
  • 3.2 Use debugging facilities, such as log windows or files, to detect logical and coding errors
4. Deploy documentation tools
  • 4.1 Investigate and select integrated, or third-party, documentation tools
  • 4.2 Deploy integrated, or third-party, tools to create and maintain code documentation
