Hire a Dedicated 3D Animator

Great 3D work requires both technical precision and artistic eye. Our dedicated 3D animators work in Blender and Maya to create everything from product visualisations and architectural walkthroughs to character rigs and game-ready assets. They understand the pipeline from concept through to final output — whether that's a rendered video sequence, a real-time game asset, or an interactive 3D embed on your website.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before hiring a dedicated 3D Animator.

You hire a specific person — not a rotating pool. We match you with a vetted professional based on your stack, domain, and working style, you conduct a technical interview before committing, and the person is assigned exclusively to your project for the duration of the engagement. They work within your timezone overlap window, join your team's communication tools (Slack, Teams), and participate in your sprint ceremonies. We handle HR, payroll, equipment, and benefits on our side. You direct the work.

Yes — always. We present 1–2 matched candidates with their CV, portfolio, and a summary of why we think they fit your requirements. You interview them before any engagement begins. If the first candidates are not right, we keep searching at no extra cost until you find someone you want to work with.

Within the first 30 days, if the placement is not working — for any reason — we replace them at no extra cost. After the first 30 days, we require 2 weeks notice to transition to a replacement so there is no knowledge gap. Replacement sourcing is included in your engagement at no additional charge.

Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. This creates a 3–5 hour overlap with UK/EU mornings, a 4–6 hour overlap with Middle East business hours, and an async-friendly relationship with US/Canada (with a 2–4 hour overlap possible with early starts). We set timezone expectations upfront and ensure a minimum 3-hour synchronous overlap per day with your team.
