3D Designer / Blender Expert
Remote | Contract | $40–$50/hour
Annualized Equivalent: $83,200–$104,000/year based on 40 hours/week
About the Role
We are looking for 3D design professionals with 1–3 years of experience using Blender for a remote, project-based opportunity.
You will work on tasks similar to those found across 3D modeling, texturing, rendering, animation, and visualization. Projects are assigned on a project-by-project basis and completed asynchronously over the next 2–3 weeks, with an expected commitment of 10–20 hours per week for the projects you accept.
This is an opportunity to apply your Blender expertise to real-world 3D design and production challenges, work flexibly, and build practical experience across a range of 3D workflows.
Why Apply
Competitive Pay: Project-based compensation starts at an estimated $40/hour and can reach $50/hour.
Flexible Schedule: Work asynchronously and choose your schedule based on the projects you accept.
Real-World Experience: Work on practical 3D design and production challenges.
Portfolio Building: Gain experience across diverse 3D projects and expand your capabilities in modeling, rendering, animation, and related workflows.
Skill Development: Apply and strengthen your Blender skills through hands-on project work.
Responsibilities
Create and deliver 3D assets using Blender and industry-standard tools.
Work on 3D design and production projects across relevant modeling, texturing, rendering, animation, or visualization tasks.
Document workflows, scene setups, and asset creation pipelines.
Collaborate asynchronously on 3D design and production projects.
Troubleshoot rendering issues, optimization challenges, and technical problems.
Resolve technical and creative challenges independently while delivering project requirements.
Required Qualifications
1–3 years of professional experience in 3D design, modeling, animation, or related fields.
Strong proficiency in Blender.
Experience with one or more of the following:
Hard surface modeling
Organic modeling
Texturing and UV mapping
Lighting and rendering using Cycles or Eevee
Animation
Procedural workflows
Bachelor's degree in Digital Arts, Animation, Game Design, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience and portfolio.
Strong problem-solving skills.
Ability to work independently on both technical and creative tasks.
Ability to work effectively in an asynchronous, remote environment.
Project & Schedule
The work is remote, asynchronous, and project-based, with projects expected to run over the next 2–3 weeks.
You will be expected to commit approximately 10–20 hours per week for the projects you accept, while maintaining the flexibility to organize your working hours around your schedule.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a capable 3D designer with practical Blender experience and a strong eye for both technical execution and creative detail.
You should be comfortable creating 3D assets, working with different aspects of the 3D production process, troubleshooting technical challenges, documenting your workflows, and independently completing project-based assignments.
If you have a strong Blender portfolio and experience in modeling, texturing, rendering, animation, visualization, or related 3D work, this is an opportunity to expand your experience while working flexibly on real-world projects.
