Jobs Openings for 3D Artists
Great Current Job Postings for 3D Artists Outside of Entertainment Available Today
Typically, I showcase the work of three remarkable artists from our industry every Wednesday. However, this week I'm changing things up a bit. Instead, I'll share three job openings for 3D Artists in sectors beyond entertainment.
Many of us, having advanced in our careers through the VFX, gaming, or animation industries, might not be aware of the opportunities outside these fields.
I'll highlight some opportunities for you to explore in today's newsletter.
