In short

Remote Pro Ai places vetted 3D Artists and Environment Artists who create production-ready characters, props and worlds. They model, sculpt and texture with PBR workflows in Maya, Blender, ZBrush and Substance, build modular environments optimised for target platforms, and produce clean bakes, retopology and LODs.

Your 3D Artist models, sculpts and textures assets with PBR workflows, and produces high-to-low poly bakes, retopology and LODs. Typical stack: Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter / Designer and Unreal.

Why teams are hiring this role now

3D Artist is one of the rising creative roles in the UAE, driven by games, simulation and architectural and entertainment visualisation. Studios increasingly produce assets in flexible waves, and they need artists who deliver engine-ready work that respects technical budgets, not beautiful models that fail on device.

3D Artist hiring FAQ

Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 3D Artist profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 4,900/month · Senior from USD 6,440/month · Lead from USD 8,360/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.

Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.

This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.

Yes. Artists meet your technical constraints: polycount and texture budgets, naming conventions, LODs, collision and material setup, all tested in Unreal or Unity. They agree pipeline standards with technical artists, so assets import cleanly without rework. Assets pass automated import checks before delivery.

Yes. Artists study your style guide, references and existing assets, deliver early block-outs for approval and iterate on feedback. Portfolio review during vetting checks range across styles, from stylised mobile art to realistic PC and console work. Feedback rounds are scheduled so art direction stays consistent across batches.

Maya and Blender for modelling, ZBrush for sculpting, Substance Painter and Designer for texturing, and Unreal and Unity for in-engine assembly and lighting checks. Artists adapt to your DCC tools and version-control workflow rather than imposing their own. Source files are delivered with every asset for future edits.

Yes. Our 3D artists also produce assets for simulation and for architectural and entertainment visualisation, including real-time experiences for giga-project visitor centres and training. The same discipline applies: high visual quality within the limits of the target device. Visualisation projects follow the same review gates as games.
