In the previous post, we outlined the technical and artistic skills that a 3D artist should possess. This time we will consider the organizational side of the profession.
Communication and interaction with the client
Understanding the specification: Being able to clearly understand and interpret the client's requirements is the key to a successful project. This includes knowing details such as dimensions, styles, materials, and specifications for different platforms.
Clear feedback: It is important to provide interim deliverables on time and get feedback from the client to make sure the project is moving in the right direction.
Presentation of work: A professional visualizer should be able to present their work intelligently, whether through visual renders, video animations or interactive 3D scenes.
Working with teams
Collaboration: A professional visualizer often works in teams with architects, designers, developers and other specialists. It is important to be able to establish effective interaction, understand the specifics of other specialists' work and adapt your work to their requirements.
Legal and ethical standards
License Rights: Understanding copyright issues is an important aspect of professional work. Some companies do not grant permission to use their designs for your portfolio and this decision should be strictly adhered to.
Ethics in working with clients: Adherence to ethical standards, such as honesty in terms of time and cost of work, as well as respect for the client's requirements, are the basis for long-term cooperation.
Continuous training and development
Keeping up with trends: The global 3D industry is constantly evolving and a professional must keep up to date with the latest technologies and trends, whether it be the use of new tools, rendering techniques or the emergence of new styles.
Building a portfolio: It is important to maintain an up-to-date and diverse portfolio that demonstrates not only technical ability but also creative thinking.
