They combine traditional graphic design skills with expertise in 3D software to create visuals for games, animations, advertisements, product designs, and architectural visualizations. Their work may include modeling objects, texturing surfaces, lighting scenes, and producing high-quality images or animations.

Collaboration usually involves regular meetings to discuss progress, share feedback, and address any challenges related to modeling, texturing, or rendering. Clear communication and the ability to interpret feedback from both creative and technical perspectives are essential. This teamwork helps maintain a consistent visual style and ensures that assets are delivered on time and meet project specifications.
