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 individuals 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. Design and plan a 3-D model
  • 1.1 Research and collect a portfolio of reference material
  • 1.2 Present the portfolio of collected reference material
  • 1.3 Use reference material to develop and design a modelling plan
2. Use suitable geometry surface for models
  • 2.1 Research the different types of geometry to select the most suitable for a 3-D model
  • 2.2 Clearly document the selected geometry choice
  • 2.3 Explain, justify and demonstrate the reasons for the selected geometry choice
  • 2.4 Apply the selected geometry choice to 3-D model
  • 2.5 Make changes to the geometry selection where necessary
3. Analyse the resource material to construct and apply a suitable topology
  • 3.1 Construct and test a topology plan using chosen concept development software
  • 3.2 Explain or demonstrate the reason for choosing a particular modelling method
  • 3.3 Assess and refine the topology plan with the client and relevant personnel
4. Construct a 3-D model
  • 4.1 Use a modelling plan to construct the model, in the chosen 3-D modelling and animation software
  • 4.2 Build the model, according to specifications
  • 4.3 Present the near-finished product to the relevant personnel
  • 4.4 Accept feedback to incorporate into the final design
  • 4.5 Assess and refine the model with clients and the relevant personnel
  • 4.6 Compose a report on the experience of working on a 3-D model
