Personality Type
- Artistic / Investigative
Knowledge
- 3D texturing
The process of applying a type of surface to a 3D image.
- 3D lighting
The arrangement or digital effect which simulates lighting in a 3D environment.
Skills
- Operate 3D computer graphics software
Use graphical ICT tools, such as Autodesk Maya, Blender which enable digital editing, modelling, rendering and composition of graphics. These tools are based in mathematical representation of three-dimensional objects.
- Create 3D texture map
Add detail, colour or surface texture to a computer-based 3D-model or graphic.
- Use polygonal modelling
Represent 3D models by using line segments to connect vertices in order to create polygonal mesh on surfaces.
- Create 3D environments
Develop a computer-generated 3D representation of a setting such as simulated environment, where the users interact.
- Render 3D images
Use specialised tools to convert 3D wire frame models into 2D images with 3D photorealistic effects or non-photorealistic rendering on a computer.
- Build business relationships
Establish a positive, long-term relationship between organisations and interested third parties such as suppliers, distributors, shareholders and other stakeholders in order to inform them of the organisation and its objectives.
- Migrate existing data

Introduce and discuss the nature and content of art work, achieved or to be produced with an audience, art directors, catalogue editors, journalists, and other parties of interest.
- Create 3D characters
Develop 3D models by transforming and digitising previously designed characters using specialised 3D tools
- Develop creative ideas
Developing new artistic concepts and creative ideas.
- Apply 3D imaging techniques
Implement a variety of techniques such as digital sculpting, curve modelling and 3D scanning to create, edit, preserve and use 3D images, such as point clouds, 3D vector graphic and 3D surface shapes.
