Best 51 Sites for Freelance 3D Artist Jobs in 3D Rendering Projects and Remote Visualization Work

3d artist jobs

3D rendering has changed the landscape of product development companies, manufacturing, and the architectural industry to a massive degree. The idea behind the technology is to visualize an object in a photorealistic computer-generated imagery, even if the object doesn’t actually exist yet. The object can be anything from consumer goods and complex medical devices to cars and skyscrapers. Such images are typically used for marketing purposes; for example, a company pitches an idea of a new product or construction plan to investors and stakeholders using a 3D rendering of a project.

Although the rendering looks as realistic as a photograph, everything in the image is still pretty much a concept. It’s also possible to use the 3D artist’s rendering as actual marketing content. For instance, about 75% of all the products you see in the IKEA catalog are computer-generated. Doesn’t this mean that three out of four things in IKEA’s offerings are fake? No, it doesn’t. The renderings in the catalog are merely digital twins of physical products. Although the images are computer-generated, they’re accurate representations of the real things, with some digital touches and wizardry to attract buyers.

The same thing applies to other industries. With the increasing demand for 3D rendering services across a myriad of businesses, there’s also a spike in employment opportunities for 3D artists. And a lot of companies these days choose to hire freelancers and independent contractors over full-time employees for efficiency reasons. Hiring freelancers is quick, relatively affordable, and budget-flexible. If you’re a 3D artist specializing in CG visualization, here are some of the best sites where you can find remote rendering jobs.

cadcrowd-logo

1. Cad Crowd

Arguably the best-known freelancing site that focuses heavily on CAD-related projects, the aptly named Cad Crowd has helped thousands of companies from all around the world with a whole bunch of services in the product development and architectural industries. By placing heavy emphasis on CAD professionals, the platform does an excellent job at categorizing the kind of services it offers, such as drafting, 3D modeling, 3D rendering, product visualizations, architectural walkthroughs, and so forth.

Cad Crowd works by connecting freelancers with the right clients for the right projects. A client posts a 3D rendering job, and Cad Crowd reviews the brief and invites select freelancers to submit proposals on the project. Every freelancer is given 30 new “credits” every month, and each proposal (job application) costs a single credit. The platform says that such a limitation is expected to make the freelancers more cautious about the process, and as a result, the clients should only receive quality proposals from competent freelancers.

There is also a “public design contest” option to help 3D design freelancers improve their ratings on the platform and earn more chances of getting invited to private projects. Winning a design contest gives you 50 additional points to your profile, and ending up in the second place earns you 40 points, whereas the third, fourth, and fifth places will be rewarded with 30 points each. The bigger your points, the higher your rank on the platform. It usually costs no money at all to participate in a public 3D rendering contest. Most contests come with prize money as well.

peopleperhour-logo

2. Peopleperhour

Freelancers can sign up for PeoplePerHour at zero cost. You can add more details to your profile, like field of expertise, experience, and pricing options (fixed-price per project or hourly rate). PeoplePerHour claims that its artificial intelligence system helps match projects with freelancers based on their profiles. You’ll be notified if a suitable project comes up and prompted by the system to send a quote. You also get the option to search for projects manually.

A “quote” is essentially a proposal or a bid, meaning you might have to compete with other 3D CAD rendering freelancers to get hired for the job. PeoplePerHour allows you to send up to 15 proposals for free every month; in case you need more, you must purchase additional credit. For every completed project, the platform charges a service fee between 3.5% and 20%, depending on the earnings you make.

Website: Peopleperhour.com

the muse logo

3. The Muse

Not every project listed in The Muse is a remote project, so make sure you use the filtering options carefully when browsing for jobs. Other than that, everything is pretty self-explanatory. You can search for projects (or even specific companies) right from the homepage. There are also multiple sorting options, such as job level (entry, senior, internship, mid-level), company size (small, medium, large), location, diversity, benefits, etc. Clicking on a project will reveal detailed requirements and a bit of information about the employer. One of the best things about The Muse is that you can apply directly to the employer’s website. According to The Muse itself, the job listing is checked multiple times a day for validity (to see whether any particular project is active or not) and updated as frequently as possible.

Website: Themuse.com

FlexJobs logo

4. Flexjobs

At least four things make FlexJobs a little bit different from most job boards. First, FlexJobs positions itself as a premium job search, which, of course, means you (as a 3D visualization freelancer) have to pay to use the platform. There is indeed a free trial that lasts for 14 days, but even that comes at a cost of $2.95. Second, the platform claims to be scam-free and promises to include only active, paid projects in the job listing. Third, FlexJobs says that every job you see on the list, regardless of the categories, has been vetted by a real human instead of an algorithm or any AI-based system. Every company in the site’s database is a legitimate employer. Fourth, the site prioritizes flexible jobs, including for freelancers and remote workers. Except for the premium, FlexJobs does seem to tick all the good boxes.

Website: Flexjobs.com

Working Nomads logo

5. Working Nomads

A major advantage of Working Nomads is that you don’t have to spend hours (maybe days) browsing through the Internet searching for freelance or remote jobs; the platform has already done it for you. More specifically, Working Nomads curates remote digital jobs from all across the web to simplify the hunt. Every job is tagged by type and category, and you can search manually by using certain keywords.

In the case of 3D rendering projects, some companies prefer to use alternative terms in their job listing, such as 3D artists, architectural visualization professionals, product designers, 3D animators, CAD generalists, and so on. Furthermore, there’s an option to sort the search results by salary. You can use Working Nomads for free, but you’ll only have limited access to the job listings. If you wish to unlock access to more than 30,000 remote jobs, which basically amounts to the entire database, you need to be a premium member. The subscription fee starts at $15.26, billed monthly.

solidgigs logo

6. Solidgigs

It’s impossible to use SolidGigs to look for jobs without being a premium member. Subscription fee is $49 monthly, or $31 per month ($382) if paid annually. There’s a 14-day free trial that you can cancel anytime. Unlike most freelancing platforms, SolidGigs deliberately prevents you from seeing a full description of any job in the listing. Instead, it will send you leads each time there’s a new project that’s relevant to your profile (skill set, experience, location, etc.) to your registered email address. If you decide to send an application to any of the employers, the link will redirect you to the original source. In other words, you’ll apply directly to the employer. SolidGigs is on the expensive side of freelancing platforms for 3D design services, but at least it doesn’t take any percentage from your earnings as a commission fee, should you get hired.

Website: Solidgigs.com

Nexxt

7. Nexxt

With a big promise of listing more than a million jobs sourced from hundreds of websites across the web, Nexxt sounds like the ideal place for freelancers actively hunting for new projects. It has a unique feature called “focus sites” with three options listed: Career, Local, and Diversity–each represents a selection of projects that corresponds to location, flexibility, inclusion, and types of jobs. You must choose a category under any of those three to see the actual job listing. After that, it’s as easy as using a search bar to enter a keyword to hunt for open projects.

Once you select a job, you’ll be provided with a full description of the project and a link to apply for it. Bear in mind that you might not know whether a project is full-time, part-time, freelance, or remote without reading the full description. Nexxt works like a portal because the link will redirect you to the original source of the listing. You can use Nexxt even without registering, but you must sign up in order to receive email notifications. 

Website: Nexxxt.com

Skipthedrive

8. Skipthedrive

A general freelancing platform, SkipTheDrive, comes with a straightforward approach to browsing the available jobs for 3D art design expert designers. You’re provided with a list of job categories to begin the search, although it’s probably easier to use the search bar instead. SkipTheDrive is not your typical job board; you don’t have to register to use the site, build a profile, or submit your resume. Everything is as clear as you want, with zero unnecessary stuff sprinkled all over the page.

When you apply for a job listed in SkipTheDrive, you’ll be redirected to the original source (most likely the employer’s own site). You handle everything on your own, including the resume, application letter, portfolio formats, and everything in between. Because SkipTheDrive has nothing to do with the application and hiring process, it takes zero platform fee and no commission at all.

Website: Skipthedrive.com

Toptal-logo

9. Toptal

There’s practically no limitation to the job categories in Toptal. Everybody is encouraged to register, but then again, Toptal promises to clients that only the most skillful, talented, and experienced freelancers are accepted. The platform likes to boast about how it receives thousands of applications each month and brings in just a meager 3% of them. You can’t help but notice that Toptal is heavily geared toward the clients, which it says include Silicon Valley startups and leading Fortune 500 brands.

3D rendering freelancers have no option to apply for projects directly. You can’t even browse the available jobs, let alone send proposals to any employer. But anyone can register regardless of skill set and fields of expertise. Part of the promise is that when a client comes looking for a talent that matches your description, Toptal lets you know all about it and initiates the potential collaboration. Hired freelancers get to keep 100% of their earnings

Website: Toptal.com

remotive logo

10. Remotive

You won’t find a category that says 3D rendering, CG visualization, photorealistic architectural image, or anything like that in Remotive, but you should be able to find more than a handful of projects in need of CGI professionals like product designers and 3D artists. The problem with Remotive is that you can’t really do an in-depth search of the job listing, filter, and sort the results without being a registered member.

Remotive says it has a collection of more than 35,000 open remote jobs and offers a money-back guarantee if you don’t get at least 50 new job postings in the first month. To unlock all the features and the entire database of available projects listed on the site, you need to pay a $79 premium; this is a one-time payment, which comes with lifetime access and custom email alerts.

twine logo

11. Twine

Everyone is welcome to Twine regardless of their skill sets and levels of experience. Twine focuses on three major job categories, including Creative, Digital, and Marketing industries, so it should be a natural ground for 3D artists and 3D visualization professionals out there. You’ll be glad to know that Twine is a free platform for all freelancers. Signing up also comes at zero cost, but that’s not the full story. A free account has only 15 pitch credits, refilled each month. In case you need to send additional pitches after you run out of those free credits, you need to purchase some extra by joining the Twine Pro.

At a cost of $7.49 monthly (billed annually) or $13.99/month, the platform unlocks additional benefits, such as 35 additional pitches (for a total of 50 per month), getting promoted on Instagram, and the ability to contact potential employers directly. Also, Twine Pro accounts are free from any transaction fees when receiving payments.

Website: Twine.net

LinkedIn logo

12. LinkedIn

To say that LinkedIn is a freelancing platform might be an understatement. The site claims to have become a major center of networking for companies and professionals, powered by around 1 billion members worldwide. It’s like the more serious version of social media, where everyone is trying to increase public reach and promote services. LinkedIn doesn’t specifically cater to freelancers, but the site used to have a section called “Job Seeker,” which has now been renamed to the “Premium Career” feature.

Let’s talk about the basic account first. The free basic membership allows you to create a professional identity, build a network of contacts, search job openings, get recommendations from other members, and receive (but not send) InMail messages. But if you find the basic account lacking in features, you might want to purchase the Premium Career account for $29.99 per month. It unlocks additional features, including direct email access to employers/hiring managers, career related courses from LinkedIn, AI-powered job search, and notifications of resume views. There’s a one-month free trial as well, giving freelance 3D visualization experts the opportunity to decide whether the premium account is worth the expense. 

Website: Linkedin.com

wellfound logo

13. Wellfound

Back to the more conventional freelancing platform, there’s Wellfound (previously known as AngelList Talent). While you can use the site to look for jobs and apply to an employer without registering, it really is much easier if you log in first. Logging in makes the search experience much more enjoyable with the ability to filter the results according to your preferences. Wellfound says it has more than 100,000 jobs available from startups and small companies alike.

When you’re about to apply, a pop-up window appears with an option to add an introduction and note, so it’s not entirely different from a cover letter. Most of the jobs listed in Wellfound have information regarding employers ‘ provided salary ranges. The site mentioned nothing specific about 3D rendering or visualization in the job category, but it has graphic designer and product designer tabs in the “Remote Jobs” section, which most likely have something to do with 3D digital artistry.

Website: Wellfound.com

Virtual Vocations logo

14. Virtual Vocations

As soon as you get to the homepage of Virtual Vocations, you’re presented with a simple interface similar to that of a search engine. Insert a keyword into the search bar, press Enter, and a job listing comes up right away. All (or at least the vast majority) of the jobs listed on the site are remote projects, suitable for freelancers and other work from home 3D modeling professionals. Registering for a free account gives you access to randomly selected jobs, and you can apply directly to any of the employers. A random selection means exactly that; you can’t in any way set a job search preference. If the randomly picked jobs fail to pique your interest, you just have to check back a few hours later for an updated list. For a more specific search and personalized job alerts, you have to register for a premium account, costing $19.99/month.

Website: Virtualvocations.com

guru.com-logo

15. Guru

There really isn’t much of a difference between Upwork and Guru. Both platforms require you to create a profile, browse for jobs relevant to your skill sets, and apply for the jobs. The search feature comes with filtering options to sort the results by skill categories, locations, and payment methods (fixed price or hourly rate). Guru allows you to use the site and send bids at no cost, but a free account can be a bit too restrictive. Registering for a premium membership opens access to more bids per month, the ability to send premium quotes, and a quicker rank improvement. It’s also advised that you should only apply for projects that offer verified payment methods to minimize the chances of getting scammed by fake employers. A premium account costs between $12 and $50 per month. Depending on the type of account, Guru charges between 5% and 9% of commission for every paid invoice.

Dice logo

16. Dice

You can say that Dice sits right in the middle between specialty and general freelancing platforms. It’s neither like Cad Crowd that focuses on CAD-related projects, nor Upwork or Guru with their all-in-one approach. Dice specializes in tech jobs, so it has a broader scope of project categories than the former, but not as wide ranging as the latter. The good thing is that within the technical related categories, you should find quite a lot of projects that require 3D expertise, including architectural visualization and product rendering services. In addition to the typical search-and-apply procedure, the Dice Match feature helps you connect with open projects tailored to your field of expertise. You can set up job alerts and save open projects for future reference as well. Every project description comes with a link that leads you to the original recruiter. Dice says that every freelancer application will be reviewed by TopResume.

Website: Dice.com

SimplyHired logo

17. SimplyHired

Probably one of the most straightforward job boards in this list, SimplyHired makes it easy to browse for jobs by entering the skills, job title, or employers into the search bar. The platform includes all employment types from internships and temporary to contract and full-time, but it provides an easy-to-use filtering option to display “remote” jobs only. Even better, you’re able to sort the search results based on the minimum salary, too. Every vacant position comes with a full job description, which includes roles and responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, and short information about the employer. Once you find the job you like, simply click Quick Apply, and you’re basically set. The application uses your SimplyHired profile, so you must register with the site to use the feature. SimplyHired offers a few useful guides, like Salary Estimator, Company Reviews, and a link to the Glassdoor Community.

Website: Simplyhired.com

freelancerarrowcom logo

18. Freelancer

Boasting 1800 categories for job seekers to choose from, Freelancer (the platform) is a widely popular job board. The platform implements a bidding system, meaning you must compete with other CAD rendering freelancers to submit the most attractive proposal to get hired for a project. Every job listed on the board shows the number of people who have placed a bid on it, so you might be able to use that as an indicator of how competitive the project is. It even has a contest section on the website, although most (but not all) of the projects revolve around the graphic design category, such as logo design and illustration. Premium membership is available, in case you need to unlock extra features like having more bids per month, access to highlighted contests, and using custom photos for your profile. For every completed project, Freelancer charges a 10% commission fee.

Website: Freelancer.com

jooble logo

19. Jooble

More like a job board than a freelancing platform, Jooble collects job opportunities from multiple sources all across the web and compiles them into a single page. It claims to scan more than 15,000 sources in real-time, and that 300,000 new jobs are added to the site every day. Mind you that not all of them are remote jobs or even relevant to 3D visualization of any sort. You can filter the search results based on the type of employment, location, and salary. Jooble is completely free; you don’t even have to register for an account to use the site.

Website: Jooble.org

HubstaffTalent logo

20. Hubstaff Talent

A relatively new freelancing platform, Hubstaff Talent is quickly becoming more popular for some very good reasons. It doesn’t require 2D & 3D design freelancers to use a bidding process to apply for a job. Once you find a job that matches your skill, just click apply without having to submit a proposal or quote. Hubstaff Talent also doesn’t operate like a middleman. The platform takes no fee and no commission from the money you make. When you apply for a job here, you’re basically sending your profile to the employer. Take your time to build a professional profile, complete with portfolio and software tools proficiency information, to boost your chances of getting hired.

workster logo

21. Workster

All the remote jobs listed on Workster are posted by employers based in the United States looking to hire freelancers eligible to work in the country. In other words, you have to be an American citizen or have an existing visa sponsorship to apply for jobs through the site. Workster is a premium service. It’s a subscription based platform, costing $14 monthly or $10 quarterly. It mentions nothing about taking commission fees, payment processing charges, or any other types of cost. There is a 7-day free trial that you can cancel anytime. 

Website: Workster.co

Weworkremotely

22. We Work Remotely

According to We Work Remotely itself, the platform has 1,000 new job vacancies every month on average. It also claims to be the largest community of remote workers in the world. Since it was established in 2011, WWR has posted more than 20,000 jobs and seen visitors from nearly every country on earth. You don’t have to register to use the platform, but it might help to create an account to get a tailored view of the available remote jobs. For example, registered members can set specific job categories, time zones, and regions where they’ll be working.

Website: Weworkremotely.com

Truelancer logo

23. Truelancer

A free account with Truelancer gives you an allotment of 20 free proposals per month. To increase the number of free proposals each month, you should upgrade to premium membership, starting at $10/month. The site says the free allotment limitation is to help ensure that each client only gets quality proposals, as job seekers are expected to be cautious with every proposal they send. Truelancer is a general freelancing platform, so it isn’t really picky about the freelancers’ skill sets. Once you log in, go to the “Find Jobs” tab at the top of the page and enter a keyword. Filtering options are available on the right side of the page to sort the search results.

Website: Truelancer.com

Easyrendercom logo

24. Easy Render

It might not be strictly accurate to say that Easy Render is a freelancing platform. That said, it does allow freelancers to register with the site as long as they have expertise in 3D CAD, especially 3D photorealistic rendering services. You can’t help but notice that Easy Render is built mostly for clients looking for freelancers, instead of the other way around. Freelancers can’t apply for a project directly; they just have to wait until a client comes up with an offer or get connected by the platform with an employer. There’s very little information about how freelancers can earn money or how a project is handled on the site.

Website: Easyrender.com

Behance-logo-small

25. Behance

A digital art marketplace that doubles as a freelancing platform, Behance is a place where 3D artists share their best works and connect with clients from all over the world. Think of your profile on the site as an online resume. Freelancers can find work on Behance for free, but there’s a platform fee (between 15% and 30%) for every transaction/completed project. If you think that’s too much, you can always upgrade to the PRO account–which costs $9.99/month subscription fee – to keep 100% of your earnings. 

Website: Behance.net

DeviantArt-Logo

26. DeviantArt Forum

The main site of DeviantArt is primarily an online community of digital artists. The freelancing feature is organized under the “Forum” portion of it, where you’ll find the “Employment Opportunities” section filled with two categories: Artists for Hire and Hiring an Artist. The former category is the part where you advertise your skills in 3D art and rendering disciplines, whereas the latter is reserved for clients to post their open projects.

Blender Artist

27. Blender Artist

Once you’re on the Blender Artist homepage, head to the “Jobs” section and choose the Paid Work category to look for 3D arts and rendering projects. It’s pretty much a job board to help members/freelancers on the site find works relevant to their skills. Blender Artist makes sure that every project posted to the Paid Work category is a real job offer rather than voluntary work. 

Website: Blenderartists.org

workingnotworking-logo

28. Working Not Working

Built by creatives for creatives, Working Not Working is a free platform for 3D rendering freelancers. You can search for jobs relevant to your skills and send applications from the site, but you have to register for an account first. WNW doesn’t take commission or charge fees of any kind from your earnings. Some jobs are full-time and internships, so use the filtering option wisely.

Website: Workingnotworking.com

DesignCrowd logo

29. DesignCrowd

There are two ways to earn money in DesignCrowd: win a design contest or get hired to work on a 1-on-1 project. It’s worth mentioning that you can only get invited to work on a project by a client whose contest you’ve won at least once. Every contest comes with prize money, the amount of which is determined by the clients themselves. Most contests and projects revolve around the graphic design discipline.

Website: Designcrowd.com

Artstation

30. ArtStation

Also primarily an online 3D artists’ community, ArtStation is designed to be a sleek, simple, yet effective platform to showcase your best work and build an attractive portfolio. There’s barely any limitation to the type and resolution of artwork you can display: you’re allowed to post 3D scenes, short clips, high-resolution images, and more. When you apply for a job listed on the site, you’re basically sending a link (to your profile) to the client.

Website: Artstation.com

CGtrader

31. CGTrader

Home to more than 40,000 3D artists, CGTrader is mainly a marketplace of 3D assets. That said, it has its own freelancing section where you can browse dozens of active jobs in the 3D artistry industry. You can sort the job listing by skill requirement and software tools. Each job shows the current number of applicants and the estimated budget as well.  Whether you’re a 3D modeling freelancer or 3D commercial rendering expert, the possibilities are endless.

Website: Cgtrader.com

Workana logo

32. Workana

You have to be a registered member to place a bid on a project in Workana. A free member is only allowed to have one ongoing project and two weekly contacts (two proposals per week). You have to upgrade to a premium membership account (available in three tiers) to lift the limitations. With every project, Workana gives an estimated budget range that you can use as a guideline when making a bid.

RemoteOK logo

33. Remote OK

A job board for remote workers and freelancers, Remote OK gives you an extensive list of open projects right off the bat on its homepage. Most of the jobs are related to website and software development, but there are some design-focused projects as well. It comes with a few interesting features, such as current trending jobs and live rankings of companies hiring the most remote workers.

Website: Remoteok.com

Nerdy Hire

34. Nerdy Hire

A rather neat and simple job search engine, Nerdy Hire presents you with an easy-to-use interface to look for jobs and filter the results based on location. There are plenty of 3D-related jobs listed on the site; most (but not all) are full-time on-site positions. Registered members can set up an email alert when new jobs relevant to their preferences are available.

Website: Nerdyhire.com

99designs-logo

35. 99Designs

A lot of things about 99Designs are similar to those of DesignCrowd. The most proactive way to earn money on 99Designs is to participate in a contest. While the vast majority of such contests are in the graphic design services category, you can use the search function and enter the right keyword to find the 3D-focused ones. As you win more contests, you have a higher chance of getting invited by clients to collaborate on private projects.

Website: 99Designs.com

Jobot

36. Jobot

A simple job search engine welcomes you to Jobot. Insert a keyword (job titles or skills) into the search bar, hit Enter, and browse away. Your Jobot profile works as your resume. When you apply for a job via the site, your profile is sent to the employer. Make sure you provide enough details in the profile, such as work experience, skills, contact information (phone number or email address), educational background, etc. 

Website: Jobot.com

jobspresso logo

37. Jobspresso

The big promise in Jobspresso is that every job listed on the site has been reviewed for legitimacy by checking the employer’s website, the company’s reputation in the market, and their social media accounts as well. The entire job listing is also reviewed and added on a daily basis. Jobspresso doesn’t have a “3D” category, but you should find 3D-related jobs under the Design and Product categories

Website: Jobspresso.co

Jobs by Workable

38. Jobs by Workable

Although the main site of Workable is all about talent sourcing, the “Jobs by Workable” section is used as a search engine for freelancers to look for jobs relevant to their skills, i.e., engineering design specialists, 3D design, etc. It also offers rather comprehensive filtering options based on employment type (full time, part time, contract, or temporary), environment (onsite, remote, or hybrid), and level of experience from internships all the way to executive positions. You can use the search feature and apply for jobs without being a member.

Nodesk

39. NoDesk

All the jobs listed on NoDesk are intended for remote workers. You don’t have to register to use the site and apply for jobs. NoDesk says that the job listing is updated on a daily basis, too. The search feature isn’t as intuitive as its competitors; instead of entering some 3D related keywords (job titles, skill set, software, etc.) into the search bar, clicking the design category, for instance, 3D drafting services, will probably give you better search results.

Website: Nodesk.co

Mediabistrocom logo

40. Mediabistro

There are more than a handful of jobs for 3D professionals and digital artists in Mediabistro. And in case you need help writing a professional resume, the job board also provides such a service. However, the platform is not free. Once your 14 days free trial is over, you must upgrade to a premium membership ($14.99 monthly or $119.88 annually) to continue using the platform. 

Website: Mediabistro.com

Lensa

41. Lensa

With a clean interface, the ability to set up job alerts, and an AI-based freelancers-employers matching system, Lensa is an effective job search engine. The job alert service is available free of charge. Other services like ApplyAssist and ResumeRabbit come with a premium. You don’t have to use the additional services, but they’re there in case you need them. Lensa somehow forces you to use the “Location” filter when searching for a job; just enter “Remote” as your location, and you’re good to go.

Website: Lensa.com

Jobleads

42. JobLeads

For some reason, you’re not allowed to use JobLeads as a free member. You can search for jobs, but you won’t be able to read the full job descriptions and apply to the employers without at least paying for the 14-day trial membership, which costs $2.99. The problem is that there’s no information about the actual membership cost. If you have to use JobLeads, it’s advisable to join the trial first and make sure you understand the pricing system well before deciding to upgrade. 

Website: Jobleads.com

ServiceScapecom

43. ServiceScape

There are only four big job categories on ServiceScape: Editing, Translation, Graphic Design, and Writing. This goes without saying that the 3D related jobs should be listed under the Graphic Design category. You can’t apply directly to any of the employers. ServiceScape works by encouraging you to build the perfect profile, and at the same time giving the clients all the features they need to discover their most-wanted freelancer. 

Website: Servicescape.com

just remote logo

44. JustRemote

According to JustRemote, most employers only post about 30% of all the open vacancies in their companies/businesses on job boards. The remaining 70% remain obscure or not listed at all, and that’s where JustRemote comes in. Rather than scouring the web to compile a big list of employment opportunities from other sources, the platform promises to give you the unadvertised job vacancies. Access to the list comes at a cost of $6 for the first month.

Remote4me

46. Remote4Me

Again, all the jobs here in Remote4Me are said to be 100% pre-filtered to make sure everything is legit and for remote workers. The platform doesn’t actually have its own job listing. It scans about 40 other job boards and selects only those that accept freelancers from anywhere in the world. The search feature can be a little bit more intuitive, but at least it’s free to use.

Remote Jobs Club 2

48. Remote Jobs Club

All you have to do is register an email account, define your job references, and wait for an incoming email from the site. It costs nothing, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

Upwork-logo

49. Upwork

Formerly known as Elance-oDesk, the freelancing platform now called “Upwork” is one of the most crowded places where clients post short-term projects and connect with remote workers anywhere in the world. It works in more or less the same fashion as PeoplePerHour in the sense that freelancers are required to compete with each other by placing bids on a project.

While it’s true that the lowest bidder usually has a higher chance of getting hired, remember that clients are often picky when it comes to hiring a freelancer. Of course, clients will prefer someone who can work for less, but at the same time, they also take into account the freelancer’s portfolio and reviews. Also like PeoplePerHour, every completed project comes with a service fee. Upwork charges between 5% and 20% depending on the amount of money you make when the project concludes.

fiverr logo

50. Fiverr

The aptly named Fiverr sets you on a journey to the freelancing world by selling your services, no matter what they might be, for a measly $5. It’s a good thing that you’re allowed to reserve that for your most basic offering only, meaning you can put higher prices for other services depending on how complex the tasks are. Fiverr doesn’t allow you to browse and apply for projects, and there’s no bidding. However, you can promote your profiles (for a small fee) to improve your chances of getting discovered by clients.

Final thoughts

The images of houses, roads, bridges, sporting equipment, cars, medical devices, and even clothing and processed foods you see online are not always photographs; they might be renderings generated from 3D models. Photorealistic CG visualizations have become huge in recent years, as indicated by the swelling number of companies worldwide looking to hire remote 3D rendering services through online portals.
