3D Modelers are essential in industries like gaming, animation, architecture, engineering, and product design—creating lifelike visual assets that bring ideas to life. From character modeling to architectural renderings and industrial prototypes, their work enables immersive experiences and high-impact visuals. However, hiring expert 3D artists locally can be expensive and hard to scale, especially for ongoing creative production needs.

Vietnam has emerged as a competitive destination for 3D modeling talent—offering skilled professionals trained in global standards, pipelines, and platforms. THIENTU BPO helps companies build dedicated offshore 3D Modeling teams in Vietnam - cost-effective, fully supported, and ready to scale.

What Is a 3D Modeler?

A 3D Modeler is a digital artist who creates three-dimensional visual representations of objects, characters, environments, or products using specialized software. They work across industries to produce assets for animation, gaming, AR/VR, architecture, and manufacturing. 3D Modelers are proficient in modeling, texturing, rigging, and rendering—ensuring that visual assets are accurate, optimized, and ready for use.
