ICTGAM418 — Use simple modelling for animation

1 Clarify the animation requirements of models

• 1.1Clarify the animation requirements and design specifications for the model, in consultation with the relevant personnel, and according to the production documentation
• 1.2Examine the most appropriate animation techniques for the animation, in order to determine which modelling techniques to use
• 1.3Identify the file format and delivery platform for animated sequences
• 1.4Identify factors that may influence the animation design approach
• 1.5Clarify work flow sequences, in consultation with the relevant personnel, to ensure that production schedule deadlines are met

2 Plan the approach

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

3 Produce animated sequences for review

• 3.1Create animations of models using animation and modelling techniques to suit design requirements
• 3.2Apply basic animation principles, screen principles, visual design principles and communication principles
• 3.3Apply real-world camera techniques to the virtual cameras used in the animation
• 3.4Render the completed animated sequences
• 3.5Save and store the animated sequences using appropriate output file formats, standard naming conventions, and version-control protocols
• 3.6Present the animated sequences of simple models to the relevant personnel for evaluation by agreed deadlines

4 Finalise animated sequences

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

What does an assessment tool for ICTGAM418 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTGAM418 needs to address all 33 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 ICTGAM418?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTGAM418 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 ICTGAM418 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTGAM418 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 ICTGAM418, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
