DISNEY ANIMATION CAREERS
The Modeling team translates beautiful concept art from Visual Development Artists into the engaging characters and intricate worlds you see on the screen. Stepping in at the beginning of the asset pipeline, Modelers work closely with various departments to ensure that each model will meet the demands of storytelling and the technical needs of production.
Character modelers bring our stories to life by translating 2D designs into compelling, dimensional characters. Through careful attention to form, weight, and presence, each character is sculpted and meticulously examined from every angle to ensure appeal and believability. Our character models often include clothing, accessories, and props, all designed to support the character’s personality and story before moving forward in the production pipeline
Environment models provide believable worlds to set the stage for our story. The incredibly complex 3D environments can include: natural terrain, architecture, vegetation, vehicle or prop models. Combined together, they reveal the details of each scene and show the scope and richness of the various sets.
Modeling requires a high degree of collaboration. Character Modelers work closely with the Visual Development, Rigging, Look Development, Simulation and Animation departments to bring to life characters with the highest level of artistic appeal and technical standards. Environment Modelers collaborate with Visual Development, Layout and Look Development to create the cinematically emotional and visually arresting worlds for our story.
