Modelling Artist creates characters, creatures, weapons and plants. The process of a modelling artist begins by creating a mesh which looks like multiple lines overlapping each other. From this mesh the artist is able to create something that closely represents what they intended to make. 

​

• They do this by using multiple digital tools which includes brushes that are used within programs such as Zbrush. Other pieces of software such as Maya are also industry standard but are used to create hard surfaces objects like guns or boxes.

​

• A modelling artists work begins early on in the pipeline. Once they have finished there work they pass it on to be textured and animated. 

​

• I however would prefer to focus in more on character and creature creation part. As I enjoy adding the detail and using Zbrush. This would mean I would most likely be texturing them as well.

​

• These are some of the softwares that are used by a Modelling artist: 3D modelling and sculpting software (Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Quixel, RenderMan)
