Prebuilt Projects2Jobs roadmap
3D Artist Roadmap
Build hiring proof for 3D Artist roles: art, code, and tooling for visual experiences.
3D Artist candidates and career switchers targeting Creative / Media Tech roles.
Timeline
8 weeks
Level
Beginner to intermediate
Final outcome
A 3D Artist portfolio with shipped projects, public GitHub proof, resume bullets, and interview talking points.
Skills to prove
3D tools
Shaders
Scripting
Real-time engines
Motion design
Pipeline tooling
Portfolio projects
- Portfolio reel of polished shots or interactions
- Technical art tool or shader pack with documentation
- Real-time scene balancing visual quality and performance
Prebuilt build path
Follow these phases in order. Each one ends with a portfolio artifact you can show in GitHub, on your resume, or in interviews.
Step 1
Weeks 1-2
Produce portfolio-grade pieces
Quality and curation beat volume.
- Create three polished pieces with a consistent style and presentation.
- Document the process with breakdowns of each piece.
Deliverable: A curated portfolio with process breakdowns.
Step 2
Weeks 3-6
Show the technical side
Prove you bridge art and engineering.
- Build a tool, shader, or pipeline script that solves a real production pain.
- Demonstrate it in a real-time scene with performance numbers.
Deliverable: A technical artifact proving you bridge art and code.
Step 3
Weeks 7-8
Package the proof for hiring
Turn the work into evidence recruiters and interviewers can verify quickly.
- Polish each repo README with screenshots, setup steps, architecture notes, and tradeoffs.
- Write resume bullets and interview talking points that map each project to 3D Artist job requirements.
Deliverable: Public GitHub proof, an updated resume, and interview-ready project stories.
