I've always wondered which was the correct way of spelling it. I was a bit afraid of getting it spelt wrong on the site, especially since you see it everywhere from the icon nav, modeller section gfx etc.. Today I am able to relieve my fears somewhat when Google shows 480,000 hits with 'modeller' and only 350,000 hits with 'modeler'.
Thank you, that is all. [:o)]
Well, as far as my knowledge of english goes (i've only been speaking it ~20 years or so :) ) Modeler would be pronounced "Mod-el-ear" Modeller would be pronounced "Mod-el-er" if that helps. sorry my phoenetics are horrible, but hopefully you get the idea :) In other words, 2 l's is correct.

Okay, just to add to the confusion (yeah, you THOUGHT it was over @;-) I just picked up Paul Steed's Character Modeling in 3DS MAX book. Yep, it's spelt with one L. Not only throughout the book but in it's title.
Perhaps an American spelling?
As an after thought, I just hit Dictionary.com which just may have solved it all:
Modeler
Mod"el*er, n. One who models; hence, a worker in plastic art. [Written also modeller.]
Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, ? 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.
Modeler
n : a person who creates models [syn: modeller]

Modeler is Australian/UK English.
Modeller is American English.
Unfortunately, most people don't realise that it is spelt 'modeling', not 'modelling', so that's how you'll see it most of time, hence most people believe this is the way it is spelt. Hell, there have been plenty of times I've been confused and have opted for double l, but Australian English most definitely uses only one l.
Interesting first post, anyway. :)

Well, Word spells it Modeller, but I remember applying for a position where it was spelt with one 'L' and then another double L.
I'd really like to see this resolved. I'm a stickler for good spelling, especially when attacking a potential employer.
