Devenez modeleur 3D : boostez votre carrière avec MoPA

Do you dream of working in the world of animated film and bringing spectacular characters or environments to life? Then a career as a 3D modeler is made for you! At MoPA, an internationally renowned animation film school, we offer a comprehensive and rigorous 3D modeling program designed to meet the demands of the professional industry.

 

3D Modeler: A Key Role in Animated Filmmaking



The 3D modeler is a vital artist in the production pipeline of an animated film, video game, or virtual reality project. Working from 2D concepts—such as drawings, sketches, or visual references—they create detailed three-dimensional models: characters, environments, objects, or fantastical creatures. Using software like Maya, ZBrush, or Blender, they sculpt forms, apply textures, and prepare models for animation.

The 3D modeler combines artistic sensibility, technical precision, and creativity. They work closely with character designers, animators, and rigging teams to ensure the aesthetic and functional consistency of the models within the final project.
