Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to use computer-based software to render 3D images of designs. It involves the addition of shading, colour, texture and lamination to 2D and 3D images to create life-like images.This unit applies to designers and to situations where the design has been finalised. The drawings and renderings would typically be used by the designer to develop production concepts, for marketing, or to record details necessary for construction by self or others.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine job requirements
  • 1.1 Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • 1.2 Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • 1.3 Analyse the design brief or similar sources to plan and determine rendering requirements
2. Select a suitable rendering application
  • 2.1 Select rendering software with capability to achieve the desired effects within timeframe and budget
  • 2.2 Confirm selection is in accordance with design brief, system limitations and requirements
3. Prepare rendering application
  • 3.1 Select and apply appropriate image resolutions, aspect and pixel ratios to achieve desired outcome
  • 3.2 Adjust renderer attributes to obtain desired anti-aliasing and other visual effects
4. Check render integrity and quality
  • 4.1 Test and refine render integrity, re-linking any missing images and textures
  • 4.2 Test render times for optimising process
  • 4.3 Test alpha channels and opacity matts against requirements
  • 4.4 Test render layers and passes against requirements
5. Optimise images for render processes
