3D Modeller careers
A 3D Modeller creates scenes using a range of physical materials. You might make characters or landscapes and use techniques to create movement or special effects. 3D Modellers might be part of an animation team or your creations might be used for a stationary display. You might spend time planning and designing your creations before starting modelling.
3D Modellers need to have an excellent imagination and you should be very creative. You’ll need to be a good problem solver and able to collaborate with other people in your team. You might have to meet with clients and you’ll need good time management skills if you’re working to a deadline.
