3D Modeler Jobs

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Quarterly, 3D

modelers build 3D characters and environments that are based on the concept art. To
create the models surfaces or skins, they paint and wrap 2D textures on a digital
frame. Modelers also create character skeletons, which animators then
control. Modeling is performed using a variety of programs such as Maya, 3DS Max,
Pixar's RenderMan, POV-Ray, and many others.

3D modelers create characters and environments for video games and 3D movies as
well as images and modeling for websites, graphic designs, animation, film effects,
simulations, broadcast design, special effects, characters and props for film, television
effects, CD-Rom design, and location-based entertainment. These multi-talented
professionals also create images/models for geologists, architects, scientists, engineers,
healthcare agencies, and more.

3D modelers work in film and video production studios, game design companies,
advertising and graphic design firms, web design firms, software companies,
architecture firms, laboratories (both science and medical), colleges and universities,
product design firms, and manufacturing firms (retail, home, tools, etc.). Modelers
also work in aerospace and for environmental agencies, automotive companies, retail
firms, government agencies, crime labs (forensics), interior design firms, building
technology firms, real estate companies, and many others.

3D Systems has been instrumental in establishing this industry segment, which

focuses on taking medical images from the computer screen to the 3D world.
Different additive manufacturing processes and materials are used to produce physical
anatomical models used in surgeries such as reconstruction of the cranium and the
hip.

Applications for Anatomical Models

Craniofacial Reconstruction:
o Cases for reconstruction of congenital disease in pediatric patients
have been a good indication for the use of models. Procedures such as
cranial vault remodeling, resection/reconstruction of fibrous dysplasia
and mid-face advancement all benefit from the use of a model
preoperatively for surgical time savings and enhancement of outcomes.
Cranio-Maxillofacial Distraction Osteogenesis:
 o Use of a model in planning distraction osteogenesis procedures has
proven to help answer questions relating to the type of distraction
device used, the size of the device and intraoral versus external device
type. Additionally, the model can save operating time by allowing
precise pre-bending before surgery, taking into account the vectors of
distraction and vital structures such as teeth buds and the inferior
alveolar nerve.
Mandibular/Maxillofacial Reconstruction:

oCases of reconstruction following trauma or congenital disease can be

planned using models. Issues such as symmetry, projection and volume
can be better visualized using a model. Implants and reconstruction
plates can be pre-bent before surgery, allowing for a better contour and
shorter surgical time.
TMJ Reconstruction:

o Three-dimensional analysis of the temporomandibular joint using

anatomical modeling has proven an invaluable aid for surgeons
treating TMJ. For cases of severe joint degeneration, stereolithography
models can be used for creation of custom total joint replacement
components.
Spinal Fracture and Degenerative Disease:

o Assessment of the facet joints can be visualized and intervertebral

measurements can be accurately accomplished using the model
preoperatively. Surgical techniques and determination of osteotomy
placement can be visualized and planned using models.
Patient-Specific Complex Cardiac and Vascular Anatomy:

o Models are suitable for use as pre-surgical planning tools, educational

resources and benchtop fixtures for testing of instruments and
implants.

Medical Modeling delivers Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), a service-based

approach to personalized surgery that combines expertise in medical imaging, surgical
simulation and additive manufacturing. This allows surgeons access to the most
up-to-date toolbox for todays most challenging head and neck surgical procedures.
VSP combines a detailed virtual surgical plan with custom-engineered
instrumentation to ensure surgical success. Patented and clinically tested technology
is available to aid surgeries ranging from trauma reconstruction of the facial skeleton
to guidance of fibula-free grafts to more routine orthognathic surgeries.

1. Entertainment

One of the most obvious places you can see the use of 3D modeling growing is in the
entertainment field. Theres not a big film (or many of the popular television shows)
that comes out of Hollywood without extensive use of 3D modeling. Its clearly
useful in special effects, not only creating environments that never existed before and
supernatural occurrences that unfold quite naturally, but its not uncommon to have
shots where things are added that you might not even realize are artificial. 3D graphic
artists using Computer Graphic Imaging (generally referred to as CGI) can remove
things from scenes, too, like taking out palm trees from a scene thats supposed to be
happening in middle America.

2. Gaming

Another area where 3D modeling software is evident is in the area of gaming. Video
games are becoming more realistic. Whether its destroying aliens or driving animated
automobiles at speed much higher than most mere mortals drive, the scenes, the props
and even the people are starting to look a great deal more like actual scenes, props and
people. There are an increasing number of universities that offer courses in 3D
modeling for video gaming.

3. Architecture

For decades, renderers would flesh-out plans and blueprints into a drawing, usually
somewhat realistic, that was essentially the first picture of the new building.
Welcome to the future. Now, these renderings are done on the computer, and you can
add motion and depth, so clients can see a fly-by that illustrates all angles of vision
(including a birds-eye or ground perspective view). Additionally, the views can go
inside the structure, too. This way, clients know exactly what theyre in for on their
project.

4. Publishing

Publishers of textbooks and other illustrated books are making use of 3D modeling
more and more. It allows them to show pictures that otherwise they might not be able
to get, for various reasons, including access and copyright issues. Sometimes, the
illustrations may be fantastical, and they can help show an artists version of
something that mankind has never seen, like historic events or visions of the future.

5. Advertising and Marketing

3D modeling artists can help advertisers and marketers depict their products in the
ideal state. It allows companies to render new cars, new product packaging and
prototypes at drastic savings. If it doesnt play, they can fix it by merely changing
the computer model. Additionally, once they have developed the right rendering, they
can use that to sell the item before they have to invest capital in production.

6. Geology and Science

Geologists and scientists can use 3D modeling to create models that simulate
earthquakes and landforms, such as ocean trenches, that let them see the affects of
stresses. Additionally, they can simulate motion, like flight patterns, including various
factors that affect them.

3D animation - Computer Definition

Animating objects that appear in a three-dimensional space. They can be rotated and
moved like real objects. 3D animation is at the heart of games and virtual reality, but
it may also be used in presentation graphics to add flair to the visuals. See geometry
calculations, VRML and surface modeling.

"Medical Animation is an educational video or movie usually created using 3D

motion graphics techniques to explain the mechanism-of-action of a medical device,
bio-medical technology, pharmaceutical drug or an anatomical or biological process"

Think of a medical animation as the first step in creating a suite of digital assets
containing powerful imagery to enhance your communications. Once an animation is
produced the 3D models and scenes used to create the animation can be leveraged to
create high resolution content for use in a wide range of circumstances.

Benefit from having high resolution imagery for use in impactful advertising and
marketing campaigns, presentations, trade-show stand graphics, printed product
brochures and much more. http://www.sciencepicture.co/medical-animation.html

Increasingly it is created by means of 3D computer graphics, though 2D computer

graphics are still widely used for low bandwidth and faster real-time rendering needs.
Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but it sometimes the
target is another medium, such as film.
It is also referred to as CGI (Computer-generated imagery or computer-generated
imaging), especially when used in films.
To create the illusion of movement, an image is displayed on the computer screen
then quickly replaced by a new image that is similar to the previous image, but shifted
slightly.
This technique is identical to how the illusion of movement is achieved with
television and motion pictures.
Computer animation is essentially a digital successor to the art of stop motion
animation of 3D models and frame-by-frame animation of 2D illustrations.
For 3D animations, objects (models) are built on the computer monitor (modeled) and
3D figures are rigged with a virtual skeleton.
For instance, an architect in China was able to win an international competition to
design a new theater in the country by showcasing his conceptual design through a 3D
CAD model, according to an article by technology company 3D Connexion. In fact,
Design World Online reported engineers in Chili were able to free 33 trapped
miners a few years ago by using 3D technology to understand the as-is conditions of
the site and construct 3D models to find a solution to the predicament.
Architects and 3D modeler engineers can also manipulate 3D models in a way they
often can't with 2D CAD drawings. Professionals are able to test what-if scenarios
with their designs in 3D, helping to validate their plans and identify any problems
with design quality. 3D renderings of designs save architects time and money by
confirming their project needs. In addition, these types of models can also give
architects and engineers an accurate picture of how they can change their designs if
they need to. It is much easier and cheaper to alter a project in the design stage rather
than after part of the work is already completed.
