3D Modelling
A 3D Modeller is an artist who creates models of animals, people, and everything in a piece of 3D software such as blender. Blender is a free piece of software that can be used to make impressive animations of professional quality. A 3D Modelling may make characters for computer games as well as for films. Whilst there is a slight difference between the two most of the techniques are the same and it is nearly always best to learn modelling for animation first.
3D Animation
A 3D animator is more in charge of creating the animation of the scene and models, often, a modeller can also be an animator, but this is not always the case especially in larger companies. Their job could be to animate a character running around the screen or to make the program produces smoke or fire in a film.
