Character modeling is the 3D art discipline of building digital character meshes for use in video games, films, and animation, typically starting from concept art and sculpting or constructing geometry using software like ZBrush, Blender, or Maya. Modelers focus on accurate proportions, topology suitable for animation and deformation, and adding details like clothing and accessories. It's a specialized job within 3D art pipelines, often followed by texturing and rigging stages.
