Freelance 3d modeller -- 2

We are seeking a 3d modeler who can assist us with creating vivid three dimensional models of custom product applications on a contract and case-by-case basis. Product applications will range widely in the materials used and complexity of the models, with some models using multiple parts and materials to achieve the designed effect. Manufacturing techniques will also range considerably based on the materials desired by the customer. These techniques will sometimes present design challenges that will need to be overcome either by presenting alternatives or designing around the manufacturing processes. Engineering staff will be able to assist with manufacturing obstacles and make suggestions on how to model the product. Responsibilities Create 3D models from existing real world products, abstract concepts, or exact specifications. Apply textures and lighting to models to create realistic models of products for customer approvals. Qualifications Strong knowledge of texturing especially with hard plastics, soft matte surfaces, and transluscent surfaces. Strong knowledge of object lighting. BONUS: Understanding of manufacturing constraints such as injection molding and experience designing around those constraints. Required Skills Experience working with 3d modeling software such as 3dsmax
