Tutor: Graphics Design, Gaming & Animation (Term 3 & 4) at Edulink International College

Role Overview

We are seeking a qualified tutor to deliver Terms 3 and 4 of the Advanced Diploma (Game/3D track). You will guide learners through practical, portfolio-ready outcomes—from ideation and asset creation in Term 3 to advanced animation techniques in Term 4. The role emphasizes sound pipeline habits and fair, skills-based assessment.

Minimum Qualifications

• Higher Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Animation, Game Development, Computer Graphics, or related field (or equivalent professional experience)
• 2+ years of teaching/training experience, or strong, recent industry experience with a solid portfolio

Term 3: Game Idea → Assets → Level

Game Design & Ideation:

• Concise Game Design Documents (GDDs)
• Moodboards and scope control/MVP thinking

Blender Modeling:

• Foundation modeling (hard-surface and organic)
• Clean topology (quads, bevels, modifiers)
• Scale discipline and deformation-aware edge flow

Retopology & UVs:

• UDIM and packed UVs
• Consistent texel density
• Strategic seam placement

Substance 3D Painter:

• PBR metal/rough workflow
• High-to-low bakes (AO, Curvature, Normal)
• Smart masks and Unity export/channel packing

Unity (URP Basics):

• Import pipeline (units, axes)
• Prefabs, colliders, and LODs
• Lightmapping and probes
• Navmesh workflow from block-out to polished pass
• Basic post-processing

Performance Optimization:

• Draw calls versus atlasing strategies
• LOD implementation
• Texture budgets for mobile and desktop platforms

Term 4: Maya, Arnold, Rigging & Animation

Digital Preproduction:

Maya Modeling:

• Deformation-ready quads and supporting loops
• Professional naming conventions and scene hygiene

Lookdev & Texturing in Maya:

• Arnold Standard Surface workflow
• Roughness and specular ranges
• Displacement and normal map usage
• UDIM workflows

Lighting & Rendering (Arnold):

• 3-point and naturalistic lighting setups
• Exposure and sampling strategy
• AOVs and denoising
• Linear and ACES workflow

Rigging:

• Joint placement and orientation
• IK/FK systems
• Constraints and control rigging
