Freelance 3D Rendering Artist – Images & Video

Job Description:

• Create photorealistic renders of a small consumer hardware product, primarily a smart ring.
• Produce product images and videos for website, ads, social, pitch decks, and internal design reviews.
• Create short product videos, turntables, motion tests, launch visuals, and social/ad clips.
• Animate camera moves, product reveals, material transitions, LED states, charging moments, and simple interaction concepts.
• Build realistic material studies across ceramic, metal, resin, glass, plastic, LED, and charging/contact details.
• Create multiple CMF and finish explorations quickly from loose references.
• Work with CAD/STP files, product photos, factory drawings, and reference images.
• Set up clean lighting, camera angles, surfaces, and compositions that make a small wearable product feel premium.

• Good written communication and responsiveness.
• Helpful but not required: Experience rendering jewelry, ceramic, titanium, PVD finishes, transparent/translucent materials, or compact electronics.
