Who models in clay?

I was just checking how big studios work and read this at Blue Sky

"Early in the building process clay is a faster medium to work in, so all of our characters and most of our environments are constructed by hand before being scanned into the computer. Together with sketches from the Design Department these 3D scans will become the armature and templates for the 3D model."

Is sculpting in clay a required skill for modelers? Not that I plan to apply for a job but I certainly would not if clay is involved. I remember doing limbs that always sank down to the wrong positions all the time.
