Freelance CG Artist - Product Rendering & Video

We are a startup building AI agents and consumer devices. Users prompt agents to take actions across their tools, and use our custom devices to capture intent on the go. We are a small team based in Shenzhen and New York and our founder previously started a unicorn company in Silicon Valley.

We are looking for a few freelance CG artists to help create high-quality product images and videos for our smart ring. You will work from product references, CAD/STP files, CMF direction, and factory samples to produce polished renders, short videos, turntables, and motion assets for website, ads, social, investor materials, and product decision-making.

This is a freelance role. We care most about taste, speed, realism, motion sense, and the ability to turn loose direction into strong visual output without heavy hand-holding.

Responsibilities

Create photorealistic renders of a small consumer hardware product, primarily a smart ring.

Produce product images and videos for website, ads, social, pitch decks, and internal design reviews.

Create short product videos, turntables, motion tests, launch visuals, and social/ad clips.

Animate camera moves, product reveals, material transitions, LED states, charging moments, and simple interaction concepts.

Build realistic material studies across ceramic, metal, resin, glass, plastic, LED, and charging/contact details.

Create multiple CMF and finish explorations quickly from loose references.

Work with CAD/STP files, product photos, factory drawings, and reference images.

Set up clean lighting, camera angles, surfaces, and compositions that make a small wearable product feel premium.

Deliver organized source files and export-ready still/video assets in clean, reusable formats.

Iterate quickly based on feedback from product, marketing, and hardware teams.

Requirements

Strong portfolio of product rendering work, ideally consumer electronics, wearables, jewelry, watches, rings, or small hardware.

Strong portfolio of product video, animation, motion graphics, or short 3D product ads.

Excellent sense of lighting, materials, composition, scale, and product detail.

Experience with Blender, Cinema 4D, KeyShot, Redshift, Octane, V-Ray, After Effects, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or similar rendering/video tools.

Comfortable working from imperfect inputs: CAD files, rough product references, factory samples, and written direction.

Able to move quickly and produce polished outputs without a large creative team around you.

Strong file organization and ability to deliver final images, final videos, and editable project files.

Good written communication and responsiveness.

Helpful but not required
