3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging skills assessment
Asset artists build everything on screen. This scorecard covers modelling, sculpting, topology, texturing and rigging for film, television and games.
- 10 skills to score
- 1–10 scale on every skill
- 5 starting levels
The 10 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging skills you can score
These are the default 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging skills in SkillScorer. Each one is scored from 1 to 10 for every artist, and you can edit, remove or add skills at any time.
Hard Surface and Organic Modelling
Builds clean, accurate models to reference.
Digital Sculpting and Detail
Sculpts high-detail forms with digital sculpting tools.
Topology, Edge Flow and UV Layout
Produces efficient, deformation-ready geometry.
Texturing and Material Development
Creates realistic or stylised materials.
Character and Prop Rigging
Builds rigs for characters and props that animators can use easily.
Facial Rig Setup and Blend Shapes
Sets up facial rigs and blend shapes for expressive performance.
Optimisation and Asset Budgets
Optimises assets to meet polygon and texture budgets.
Asset Pipeline and Naming Conventions

Collaboration with Animation and FX
Works with animation and FX teams to meet their needs.
Levels included with 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging
3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging starts with 5 levels, which SkillScorer calls “Seniority Level” for animation & visual effects, so artists can be grouped and compared fairly. Rename, reorder or replace them at any time.
- Junior Artist
- Modeller
- Senior Modeller
- Lead
- Supervisor
How 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging works in SkillScorer
Score
Each artist in a department is scored on the 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank artists, compare two side by side, or compare your departments against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging skills need attention. Reports also follow each lead's department.
3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging scorecard: common questions
What skills does the 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging scorecard include?
SkillScorer's 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging scorecard covers 10 skills: Hard Surface and Organic Modelling, Digital Sculpting and Detail, Topology, Edge Flow and UV Layout, Texturing and Material Development, Character and Prop Rigging, Facial Rig Setup and Blend Shapes, Optimisation and Asset Budgets, Asset Pipeline and Naming Conventions, Reference Research and Art Direction and Collaboration with Animation and FX. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are artists scored in 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging?
Every artist is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one department and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging?
3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Junior Artist, Modeller, Senior Modeller, Lead and Supervisor. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the 3D Modelling, Texturing & Rigging skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In animation & visual effects the app talks about artists, departments and leads, and you can change any of those words too.
