FAQ for Hiring 3D Illustration Designers

These days, drawing on paper is no longer enough. Photorealism, which is the ability to create realistic visualizations of a photograph, image, or device, now holds more appeal. This makes 3D illustrations more important than ever. 

Cad Crowd has the world’s top talents for 3D illustration, design, rendering, and 3D printing. We will connect you with 3D Illustration freelancers to create optimum 3D designs using a variety of tools. 

We have designers who are pre-qualified, which guarantees that any 3D Illustration services you hire will be delivered according to your project specifications, budget, and timeline. They will be chosen based on your project needs. When you submit your project description, our team of engineers will analyze it and then choose the most suitable contractor for the job. This takes the guesswork out of hiring freelancers to work with you on any project. 

3D illustrations are vital to 3D computer graphics and are often the first step to developing a 3D model, which is a mathematical representation of a surface of any inanimate or living object. Apart from 3D models, a 3D image is primarily used in graphic design, computer-aided design, video games, visualization, visual effects, and certain aspects of virtual reality, such as engineering and cinematography. 

Freelance 3D illustrators have a lot of options when it comes to the tools and techniques they can use to deliver 3D Illustration services. They can draw a photo-real image on paper or use a variety of 3D applications to create a digital version. Some of the CAD software they can use are 3ds Max, Maya, CINEMA 4D, and ZBrush. 

A designer can choose to work entirely using 3D applications or combine both 2D and 3D images. Depending on a project, they can also take one-point and/or two-point perspectives.  

3D Illustration freelancers are 3D artists with expertise in turning two-dimensional images into 3D models through 3D rendering. When required, they can also create a physical representation of their illustration through 3D printing or sculpting, which is a manual modeling process. 

Most of the time, the modeling process dictates the direction of a 3D illustration. For instance, if a polygon model is required, a polygon mesh of an object is created by connecting vertices, which are points in a 3D space, with line segments. Curve modeling, on the other hand, mostly uses curves to define a surface. The curves are often made by adjusting the weighted control points, pulling it close or far from a specific point. On top of all these, 3D Illustration freelancers may also create the illusion of shade and cast shadows. 

Our freelance 3D illustrators will work with you throughout the entire design process, from the initial sketching right through to printing or sculpting if needed. Whether you need a photorealistic rendering or a physical representation of a particular object, our freelancers have you covered. Work with the best designers for the best 3D illustrations.
