What an assessment for CUAANM512 must cover

40 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Clarify work requirements

1.1Determine requirements and purpose for 3D digital environments with reference to production documentation
1.2Identify workflow sequences and production deadlines in consultation with required personnel
1.3Select software that best suits the type of production and delivery platform for which 3D digital environments are being created
1.4Gather and analyse reference materials for visualisation of 3D environments

2 Create 3D digital environments

2.1Build a previsualisation of environments in relation to reference materials using software features, and submit to required personnel for approval
2.2Build realistically detailed environment models and progressively refine them until they meet design requirements
2.3Check integrity of models and ensure spatial relationship meets design requirements
2.4Apply texture coordinates according to design requirements
2.5Create and incorporate matte paintings according to design requirements
2.6Apply lighting and shaders according to design requirements
2.7Experiment with different lighting rigs and select a rig that meets design requirements
2.8Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time
2.9Continuously refine all aspects of 3D digital environments until required creative effect is achieved
2.10Submit environments to required personnel for feedback on whether production requirements have been met and make final adjustments as required

3 Finalise projects

3.1Render and output environments and submit to required personnel by agreed deadlines
3.2Make back-up copies of files, and save and store animations using appropriate output file formats and standard naming conventions
3.3Participate in project evaluations and contribute ideas and suggestions about ways to improve future projects

Performance evidence

create detailed 3D digital environments that meet design requirements and production deadlines for at least two different productions.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
apply a range of modelling techniques to achieve creative and realistic effects
select and proficiently use required animation software to achieve product outcomes
store 3D environments in required file formats using industry naming conventions
participate productively in project evaluation for improvement
adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time
work collaboratively with others in a production team to achieve project outcomes.

Knowledge evidence

strategies to address typical challenges when creating digital environments
digital modelling techniques used in development of 3D environments
the realistic construction of 3D environments using spatial relationship elements including scale, form, weight and volume
strategies to evaluate projects to improve future projects
concept of integrity in modelling 3D environments
different 3D animation software
following concepts and their application to developing 3D environments: texture coordinates, matte paintings, lighting and shaders
required file formations and industry naming conventions
work health and safety requirements relating to working with computers and keyboards for extended periods of time.

Foundation skills

Oral communication: Uses clear language to explain and discuss task requirements Confirms understanding using questioning and listening techniques
Reading: Interprets and analyses textual information from different sources for idea development and confirmation of job parameters
Planning and organising: Plans and manages workflow processes to ensure design and production requirements are satisfied Documents task requirements and workflow sequences
Self-management: Follows organisational procedures when managing files and directories Adheres to work health and safety requirements
Teamwork: Uses appropriate communication practices and protocols to present drafts Refines ideas and discusses project outcomes in collaboration with others
Technology: Uses digital tools to develop refined, technically accurate 3D digital environments for different productions and delivery platforms using digital tools

Questions about assessing CUAANM512

What does an assessment tool for CUAANM512 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUAANM512 needs to address all 40 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 CUAANM512?

Auditori pulls the current release of CUAANM512 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 CUAANM512 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CUAANM512 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 CUAANM512, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
