Freelance 3D Artist - Custom Fuzzy/Tactile Texture Development

Our client is looking for a freelance 3D artist with strong look-dev and material expertise to create a custom fuzzy / tactile texture for branded 3D assets.

Timing: ASAP (delivery mid–late January)

Duration: 2–4 weeks

Pay: $45–55/hr.

Location: Fully remote

This project is focused on material exploration and surface realism (not complex modeling). You’ll be developing a premium, soft, dimensional texture that can function as a background and interact with a product can.

What you’ll do:

• Create a custom fuzzy / fiber-based 3D material from scratch
• Explore 2–3 texture approaches (procedural, shader-based, or hair/fiber systems)
• Refine surface detail, density, and lighting for a polished, on-brand look
• Apply the texture in context (e.g., can resting on or within the surface)
• Deliver assets optimized for stills and short motion loops (if needed)

What we’re looking for:

• Strong background in 3D look development, materials, and surface texturing
• Experience creating tactile materials (felt, velvet, microfiber, fur-like textures)
• Proficiency in Cinema 4D (Redshift/Octane), Blender (Cycles), and/or Houdini
• Solid understanding of lighting and rendering for material realism
• Portfolio with close-up material or surface studies
