If I were looking for a Japanese manga artist, I would use the Japanese
characters for the word "mangaka." I need the Japanese word and characters for
a word that means "3D character artist" or "3D character modeller."

Do the Japanese have a specific term for this, like mangaka is for 2D art? Or
do they just use the same words except in Japanese?

I'm trying to find a Japanese 3D character modeller. My own Japanese is
actually very fluent, I just need to know if there is a specific term for it
or some other way to help me find one. Thanks in advance!

What is the Japanese word for a 3D character artist/modeller?
The translations are 3Dキャラクターアーティスト and 3Dキャラクターモデラー, respectively. 3D is
usually pronounced スリーディー.

Unlike 漫画家, there are no common kanji Japanese words for these. Here's why:
