3D Rendering
What is a 3D rendering artist?
While there are a variety of artists who specialize in specific styles and methods, a 3D rendering artist specializes in illustrating subjects in a way that conveys depth and perspective. The work of a 3D rendering artist may be done using pencil, paint or computer aided design software when designing products, machinery or buildings.
How do you hire a 3D rendering artist?
You can source a 3D rendering artist talent on Upwork by following these three steps:
- Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a 3D rendering artist.
- Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
- Shortlist and interview 3D rendering artists. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview.
Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of 3D rendering artist you need to complete your project.
How much does it cost to hire a 3D rendering artist?
Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.
- An experienced 3D rendering artist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
- A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their 3D rendering artist services more competitively.
Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
How do you write a 3D rendering artist job post?
Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
Job post title
Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample 3D rendering artist job post titles:
- We need to hire a graphic illustrator who specializes in 3D
- 3D artists needed to design consumer packaging
- Are you an expert 3D artist? We want to talk to you
Project description
An effective 3D rendering artist job post should include:
