Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create 3D digital models that meet technical and design specifications.
It applies to individuals who clarify production requirements and produce 3D models under supervision, but may have responsibility for planning their own work. They produce these 3D models primarily for online and mobile device application.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
