@andremacias
Lead 3D product visualization specialist transforming CAD into photorealistic, production-ready assets.
What I'm looking for
I am a technical 3D visualization specialist with 10+ years converting CAD and technical specifications into marketing-ready, photorealistic product imagery. I design robust, modular production pipelines, standardize assets and optimize GLB/web workflows to ensure consistency, scalability and fast iteration for commercial clients.
As a remote lead, I have mentored teams, delivered 400+ renders per year, and architected high-volume outputs (1,000+ models in six months; 100 animated videos in four months). I combine hard-surface modeling, physically accurate materials, studio lighting and pipeline automation to meet manufacturing-accurate visuals and e-commerce requirements.
