While both roles involve 3D rendering skills, Intern 3D Rendering positions are entry-level, focusing on learning and supporting, whereas 3D Artists are experienced professionals responsible for producing complete visual projects.

What does an Intern 3D Rendering do?

An Intern 3D Rendering assists with creating and visualizing three-dimensional models and environments using specialized software. They typically work under the supervision of experienced 3D artists or designers, helping with tasks such as modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering scenes for projects in industries like gaming, animation, architecture, or film. This role provides hands-on experience with industry-standard tools, allowing interns to build their technical skills and portfolios while contributing to real-world projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Intern 3D Rendering, and why are they important?

To excel as an Intern 3D Rendering, you need a solid understanding of 3D modeling, rendering techniques, and foundational knowledge in computer graphics, often supported by coursework or a degree in a related field. Familiarity with industry-standard software such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, Maya, or rendering engines like V-Ray and Unreal Engine is typically required. Strong attention to detail, creativity, and the ability to collaborate effectively with design teams are valuable soft skills for this role. These abilities ensure the production of high-quality visual assets and effective teamwork in fast-paced creative environments.

What types of projects and tasks can I expect to work on as an Intern 3D Rendering, and how do these contribute to the larger team goals?

As an Intern 3D Rendering, you can expect to assist with creating and refining 3D models, developing realistic textures, and rendering assets for ongoing projects such as architectural visualizations, product prototypes, or animation sequences. You'll often collaborate with senior 3D artists, designers, and developers to ensure your work aligns with project specifications and deadlines. These tasks are essential for supporting the production pipeline and helping the team deliver high-quality visual content to clients or stakeholders. Gaining hands-on experience with industry-standard software and participating in team reviews will also help you build valuable skills for future advancement.

SketchUp & 3D Rendering Specialist (Freelance)

KSI

Des Moines, IA

$100/hr

Contractor

Posted 5 days ago


Job description

Freelance / Contract SketchUp & 3D Rendering Specialist - Immediate Need

Location: Remote in the United States - Iowa or Midwest preferred

Type: Freelance / 1099 Contract - immediate start, ongoing engagement

Compensation: $100/hour, DOE (billed by project/hours)


About the Opportunity

A well-established Midwest manufacturer of strength-training and fitness equipment - serving colleges, universities, and high schools nationwide - needs a freelance SketchUp / 3D rendering specialist to support its sales and visualization team. This is an immediate need with the potential to grow into an ongoing fractional relationship. Posted on behalf of a confidential client by Katalyst Systems Impact; company details are shared once we've connected.


What You'll Do (Immediate Priorities)

  • Convert 2D architectural drawings (.dwg, PDF, etc.) into accurate SketchUp models so the sales team can design within the space
  • Turn completed SketchUp room layouts into high-resolution renderings, animations, and presentation-ready materials
  • Build accurate room shells with architectural details, materials, and lighting
  • Create photorealistic renderings for customer presentations, including customer logos and individual equipment renderings
  • Produce 3D walkthroughs and animated videos (day/night scenes, visual effects)


This Role May Grow To Include

  • Website and marketing renderings
  • Converting engineering models (SolidWorks) into SketchUp
  • Advanced rendering / post-processing for larger projects
  • Exploring emerging visualization technology - VR and immersive customer experiences


What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience with SketchUp and photorealistic rendering (V-Ray, Enscape, Lumion, Twinmotion, or similar)
  • Ability to convert .dwg/PDF architectural drawings into clean SketchUp models
  • A strong portfolio of renderings, animations, and walkthroughs
  • Fast, reliable turnaround and clear communication - the single biggest factor in this role's success
  • Based in Iowa or the Midwest strongly preferred (Central/Eastern Iowa a plus) - for time-zone and communication ease, and to allow for the occasional in-person visit as responsibilities grow; open to other U.S. locations for the right candidate
  • Your own SketchUp/rendering software and license


Schedule & Workload

  • Fully remote; no fixed hours required, but fast turnaround is essential (prior contractor typically turned work around in 5-6 hours same-day, 12 hours overnight)
  • Workload is cyclical - busiest October-December, lighter in summer - and has grown year over year
  • Immediate start; ongoing contract with room to grow


Location Requirement

Candidates must be currently located in the United States and perform the work from within the U.S. Iowa or Midwest-based candidates are strongly preferred, with Central/Eastern Iowa a plus, due to time-zone alignment, ease of communication, and the potential for occasional in-person collaboration as the relationship grows.
