Morphology

modeller = model (transparent) = model + er

Standard agent/instrument noun formed from the verb 'model' using the productive suffix '-er'; the meaning 'tool or person that models' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word modeller comes from model, a familiar word for a small copy or pattern, and the ending -er, which means 'one who does' something. So a modeller is a person or a program that makes or shapes models, for example software that builds 3D characters.
