What an assessment for ICTGAM544 must cover

57 assessable components: 5 elements (24 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 19 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 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 Establish project requirements and collect and use reference material

  • 1.1Establish project and animation requirements of models and elements, according to organisational procedures

  • 1.4Identify type of production and target platform for which 3-D digital animations are being created and select applicable 3-D modelling and animation software tools
  • 1.5Research and gather reference material applicable to animation requirements

2 Prepare 3-D digital models using a variety of manipulating techniques

  • 2.1Research and select applicable animation methodology for required models
  • 2.2Confirm models’ topology allows required deformation of objects and their parts, according to storyboard animation brief
  • 2.3Apply a variety of manipulation techniques according to model and element requirements
  • 2.4Refine animation attributes and confirm integrity of models and elements until storyboard requirements are met
  • 2.5Submit pre-model animation to required personnel for feedback and confirm storyboard objectives have been met
  • 2.6Make final adjustments as required according to feedback

3 Create required animations using a variety of animation tools

  • 3.1Animate object, applying animation principles and techniques to produce required motions
  • 3.2Submit animation to required personnel for approval
  • 3.3Make adjustments as required and refine animation in passes until storyboard requirements are achieved

4 Test and render 3-D digital model

  • 4.1Research and select applicable render engine according to project requirements
  • 4.2Render component for testing purposes using nominal lighting
  • 4.3Test against production plan and evaluate results
  • 4.4Continue manipulation process according to meet required effects
  • 4.5Evaluate final render, and confirm further client requirements are met
  • 4.6Prepare required render passes according to animation requirements
  • 4.7Render required component

5 Evaluate and finalise animation

  • 5.1Present edited material to required personnel, in applicable format for evaluation
  • 5.2Obtain final sign-off from required personnel
  • 5.3Make backup copies of files and complete workplace documentation, according to organisational procedures

Performance evidence

  • create at least two animated models using animation and rendering software, according to animation principles and storyboard requirements.
  • prepare pre-model animation for approval using created storyboard sequence
  • evaluate texture, quality and performance of models using lighting
  • render 3-D digital models on at least one small device and one large device and confirm pixels are optimised
  • present final 3-D digital models, together with supporting documentation including project brief, documents and concept art for approval
  • comply with organisational procedures.

Knowledge evidence

  • principles and techniques of 3-D animation, lighting and modelling
  • features and functions of industry standard 3-D modelling and animation software tools and render engines
  • types of production and target platforms for which 3-D digital animations are created for
  • industry standard animation methodology and processes
  • how anatomy and physical movement is applicable to animation
  • the importance and advantages of client communication when working on projects
  • required budgeting and scheduling considerations during animation projects
  • storyboard creation techniques
  • script production techniques
  • manipulation techniques relating to animating models and elements
  • application of industry standard game-play hardware and software products
  • purpose of dope sheets
  • principles of the graph curve editor for smooth animation
  • physical attributes that create effects, including weight and anticipation
  • purpose of rendering
  • shading and texturing techniques applicable to animating physical attributes of models and elements
  • transfer methodology, including rotoscoping hand key and motion capture
  • 3-D digital model testing procedures
  • organisational procedures applicable to animating models and elements.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Interprets and analyses reference sources and applies knowledge to project work
  • Writing: Communicates complex relationships between ideas and information, matching style of writing to purpose and audience when creating storyboard and workplace documentation
  • Numeracy: Applies manipulation techniques, animates objects and makes adjustments using mathematical and problem-solving strategies
  • Oral communication: Uses listening and questioning techniques to determine client requirements and articulate ideas using specific language applicable to audience
  • Planning and organising: Plans a range of routine and non-routine tasks, including collecting resources, determining storyboard sequences and selecting software tools
  • Problem solving: Makes a range of critical and non-critical decisions in relatively complex situations, taking a range of factors into account
  • Self-management: Implements actions as per plans, making slight adjustments if necessary and addressing some unexpected issues
  • Technology: Uses a broad range of features of software applications for specific purposes. Manages and maintains files in a variety of storage media and formats

Questions about assessing ICTGAM544

What does an assessment tool for ICTGAM544 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTGAM544 needs to address all 57 unit components: 5 elements with 24 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 19 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 ICTGAM544?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTGAM544 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 ICTGAM544 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTGAM544 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 ICTGAM544, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
