Review their work

Look at the 3D modeler's portfolio on Contra to see if their style and quality of work match your project needs. Pay attention to their ability to create realistic models, their attention to detail, and their creativity.

Understand their technical skills

Be sure the 3D modeler is proficient in the necessary software such as Blender, Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, and Zbrush. Their ability to leverage these tools is crucial to the success of your project.

Communication is key

Maintain open communication with your 3D modeler throughout the project. Provide constructive feedback and ask for regular updates. Remember, all communication and work reviews should be done through Contra to ensure a smooth workflow.

How to hire 3D Modelers
