Entertainment industries including VFX, Animation, and games will always matter, but it’s crowded, competitive, and unpredictable. Consumer products, on the other hand, are everywhere. From shampoo bottles to sneakers to kitchen appliances, every item we buy has to be designed, packaged, and marketed.

These companies are under pressure to:

Launch products faster
Create visuals for thousands of products across every region and retailer (SKUs — Stock Keeping Units)
Prepare for a future where shopping is immersive, interactive, and AI-assisted

And most of them don’t have the 3D talent they need to get there.

That’s where you come in.
