All my life I've wanted to make video games, so I've dabbled in quite a few game engines, but most things I tried to make as a kid didn't get finished. I started trying to make complete game projects in high school with Unity, but I became frustrated using it.

Although the role is highly creative, it is also quite technical, and modelers must be able to determine scale, optimize geometry and renders, and troubleshoot software issues and bugs. These equations are then combined and rendered using a graphics processing unit that outputs a rough but legible animated scene known as a 'playblast.'
