FAQs

When hiring a freelance 3D modeler, it's essential to clearly define the deliverables in terms of the project's scope. Specify the type of 3D models needed, such as characters, environments, or product designs. Outline the level of detail and the file formats required, like OBJ, STL, or FBX, and clarify any additional requirements for texturing or rigging. Setting these details upfront ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of expectations.
To effectively assess a freelance 3D modeler's portfolio on Contra, focus on the quality and style of their previous work to see if it aligns with your project needs. Look for versatility in the types of models they've created and the complexity of those models. Additionally, evaluate the consistency in their artwork's quality and how well they meet deadlines in their past projects, if available. This assessment will help ensure that the modeler can deliver work that fits your vision.
In your project brief to a freelance 3D modeler on Contra, include a detailed description of the project, the specific goals, and any relevant background information. Clearly articulate the timeline and any milestones, as well as any tools or software preferences you have, like Blender or Maya. By providing this comprehensive context, the modeler will have a clear understanding of your expectations and can tailor their approach accordingly.
