3D Designer

📋 Description

• • Join Scale Army as a highly skilled 3D Designer, a pivotal role dedicated to elevating complex design presentations through the creation of breathtaking photorealistic visualizations and dynamic video content. Our client, a leader in architectural, product, and engineering visualization, is seeking an individual who embodies technical precision, creative flair, and an unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality output. In this fully remote position, you will be instrumental in transforming intricate technical specifications, raw prototypes, and conceptual designs into compelling static and motion-based visual assets that captivate and inform clients.
• • As a 3D Designer, your core mission will be to craft detailed, lifelike 3D models that serve as the foundation for stunning visual narratives. You will leverage industry-leading software such as Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, and V-Ray to render visuals that are not only photorealistic but also meticulously aligned with precise client specifications. A key aspect of this role involves the adept use of AutoCAD to develop accurate engineering drawings, which will then be seamlessly integrated into your 3D designs, ensuring technical fidelity and a comprehensive representation of the client's vision.
• • Beyond static imagery, you will be responsible for producing and editing engaging video content using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. This includes incorporating your sophisticated 3D visuals and animations into dynamic video sequences that tell a compelling story. You will be tasked with creating sophisticated motion graphics and crafting video content that not only meets but exceeds project goals, ensuring a polished and professional final product. The post-production phase is equally critical, involving meticulous editing, precise color grading, and expert compositing to guarantee seamless, high-quality final outputs that leave a lasting impression.
• • Your expertise will extend to post-processing and compositing, where you will utilize Adobe Photoshop to refine 3D renders and composite final images. This involves the skillful application of lighting, textures, and materials to achieve visually accurate and strikingly photorealistic results. The ability to manipulate these elements to match real-world aesthetics is paramount to the success of this role.
• • Collaboration and client interaction are central to this position. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, and project managers, ensuring that your 3D models are effectively integrated into broader project workflows. Furthermore, you will engage directly with clients to thoroughly understand their requirements, gather feedback, and implement revisions, fostering a collaborative and client-centric approach. Maintaining highly organized workflows while adeptly managing multiple concurrent projects and consistently meeting deadlines will be crucial for success.
• • This role is ideal for a candidate who thrives in a remote work environment and is available to work during U.S. business hours (9 AM - 5 PM EST), supporting clients across different time zones. The opportunity to work on diverse projects that demand both creative vision and technical acumen is significant. You will contribute directly to high-impact visual presentations, collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and clients, and continuously develop your advanced 3D and video production capabilities within a dynamic and forward-thinking organization.
• • Success in this role is defined by the delivery of exceptional 3D models and photorealistic renders that consistently meet or surpass client expectations. It also encompasses the creation of engaging video content and motion graphics that significantly enhance presentations and storytelling. Timely project delivery, characterized by an unwavering attention to detail, is a non-negotiable aspect of this position. Ultimately, positive feedback from both clients and internal teams, reflecting your collaborative spirit and the superior quality of your work, will signify your success.
• • The ideal candidate will possess 3-5 years of professional experience in 3D design, visualization, and video production/editing. While not mandatory, experience in designing or visualizing bathroom products, building materials, or home improvement products, along with a background in cinematography and camera work, and familiarity with digital asset management systems, would be highly advantageous. This role requires advanced proficiency in Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, V-Ray, or similar rendering engines, coupled with strong AutoCAD skills for technical integration. Advanced knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for video editing and motion graphics, and proficiency in Adobe Photoshop for post-processing and compositing, are essential. A deep understanding of 3D rendering techniques, lighting, materials, and textures for photorealistic output is critical, as is proven experience in video composition, color grading, and audio editing. Familiarity with additional 3D software like Blender, Cinema 4D, Rhino, or SketchUp, knowledge of manufacturing processes and product engineering, and an understanding of social media video specifications are preferred. Exceptional attention to detail, strong time management, and excellent communication and collaboration skills are fundamental requirements for this exciting opportunity.
