All this week at befores & afters we’re asking freelance 3D artists about their careers and for advice for others looking to start in the industry.
It’s all thanks to CG Trader’s 3D Jobs offering. Here you can use CGTrader’s platform to connect with modelers, animators, riggers, 3D print pros and more. Here’s how it works:
- You describe your project via a form to make a freelance offer
- Select a freelancer after reviewing quotes. You can also browse previous projects and search for 3D artists
- Prepay the budget to CGTrader, let the freelancer know when to start, and then release the payment when you are happy with the result.
