CUAANM302 — Create 3D digital animations

1 Clarify animation requirements

• 1.1Clarify 3D animation requirements documented in design briefs with relevant personnel
• 1.2Examine models to be animated to determine appropriate animation techniques
• 1.3Identify file formats and delivery platform for animated sequences
• 1.4Identify factors that may influence animation design approach
• 1.5Clarify work flow sequences with relevant personnel to ensure production schedule deadlines are met

2 Plan approach

• 2.1Research animations, artworks and other creative sources that may inspire ideas
• 2.2Generate a range of ideas for animations that are technically feasible, respond to briefs and provide creative solutions to all design issues
• 2.3Present ideas to relevant personnel using appropriate design techniques
• 2.4Adjust approach to incorporate feedback and agree on final design concept
• 2.5Discuss and select 3D animation software with relevant personnel to ensure animated sequences meet technical and creative requirements
• 2.6Identify audio assets to support animations as required

3 Produce animated sequences for review

• 3.1Create 3D animations using software and animation techniques to suit design requirements
• 3.2Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using equipment for long periods of time
• 3.3Apply basic animation, screen, visual design and communication principles to produce animations
• 3.4Apply real world camera techniques to virtual cameras used in 3D animation as required
• 3.5Confirm with relevant personnel that models have not infringed copyright
• 3.6Render completed animated sequences using appropriate output file formats
• 3.7Save and store animated sequences using standard naming conventions and version control protocols
• 3.8Demonstrate 3D animated sequences to relevant personnel for evaluation by agreed deadlines

4 Finalise animated sequences

• 4.1Review animated sequences to assess creative solutions to design briefs, appropriateness to users or audience, and technical feasibility
• 4.2Discuss and confirm additional requirements or modifications with relevant personnel, and complete changes as required for signoff

What does an assessment tool for CUAANM302 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUAANM302 needs to address all 35 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 4 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CUAANM302?

Auditori pulls the current release of CUAANM302 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for CUAANM302 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CUAANM302 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of CUAANM302, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
