A game designer will often need to model something either as a stand-in for the game or sometimes even as actual final art, depending on the size and composition of the team. In production, designers are often called upon to create level layouts. I am familiar with using Maya, 3DSMax, Photoshop, and UnrealEd as level creation tools as well as for other game production purposes.
