Luke Hochrein
@lukehochrein
Senior 3D Artist and Designer specializing in product visualization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior 3D Artist and Designer with over five years of experience creating high-quality product visualizations and digital assets, primarily using Cinema 4D and Blender. I transitioned from freelance graphic design and illustration, which strengthened my visual storytelling, composition, and branding skills.
In studio and on-site roles I’ve developed photogrammetry and structured-light capture pipelines, led teams, and managed projects for clients including Clorox, Sanofi, Lowes, Whirlpool, and Hershey. I produce optimized VR and digital twin assets, handle retopology, remeshing, texturing, and manage capture workflows.
I pride myself on being efficient, detail-oriented, and collaborative—delivering polished renders and assets that meet client goals and deadlines while training colleagues on best practices and quality control.
