This unit will provide students with the theoretical and practical skills associated with the creation of advanced real-time 3D production methods and technology. Participants will gain knowledge in advanced uses for real-time engines while developing key production skills required such as, the construction of 3D assets, lighting, animation, texturing and environmental effects for use in advanced real-time productions.
1. Apply appropriate production methodologies in the construction and assembly of real time 3D projects;
2. Prepare 3D assets, animation and environment effects for use in real time projects;
3. Create advanced texturing, lighting and virtual camera solutions for real time environments;
4. Construct a project that demonstrates appropriate application of advanced real time environment creation techniques; and
5. Implement and describe an effective real time production pipeline.
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
1. UC graduates are professional - display initiative and drive, and use their organisation skills to plan and manage their workload
1. UC graduates are professional - take pride in their professional and personal integrity
2. UC graduates are global citizens - think globally about issues in their profession
2. UC graduates are global citizens - make creative use of technology in their learning and professional lives
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - reflect on their own practice, updating and adapting their knowledge and skills for continual professional and academic development
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - be self-aware
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - adapt to complexity, ambiguity and change by being flexible and keen to engage with new ideas
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - evaluate and adopt new technology

Participation requirements
Students should endeavour to maintain at least 80% attendance for all lectures and tutorials, whether they are virtual or face-to-face. Attendance below 80% may adversely affect your ability to complete the unit at a satisfactory level.
Students who attend campus for class or other purposes must play their part in keeping our campus and community safe by following these basic guidelines to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission:
- Practise good hand hygiene, washing hands regularly;
- If you do happen to cough or sneeze, please do so into the crook of your elbow, dispose of tissues immediately and wash hands immediately
- Practise effective physical distancing;
- Follow all directions of teaching and other UC staff regarding safety measures;
- Stay off campus if you are unwell and get tested according to QLD Government guidelines, and
- Follow University communications about campus arrangements https://www.canberra.edu.au/coronavirus-advice
Required IT skills
We have not set a pre-requisite for this unit, as we recognise that many students gain basic 3D skills outside of formal classes. However, this unit assumes you will have developed competencies in basic polygonal modelling techniques, and can construct basic 3D models using typical 3D construction techniques (commensurate with having completed the unit 3D animation, for example)
