Client: E-Commerce Company

Industry: Consumer Products

Role Hired: 3D Renderer (Full-time, remote)

Time to Hire: 22 days

Monthly Salary: $2,500 USD

The Hiring Challenge: 3D Rendering Expertise for Health Products

Our client, a leading health devices company, needed a 3D Renderer to create photorealistic visuals for its premium hardware line.

With product launches approaching, the team required someone who could deliver high-quality static renders for marketing, sales, and web, integrate seamlessly with the design team, and maintain brand consistency, all without the delays and costs of traditional local hiring.

But U.S. hiring presented key blockers:

  • Local 3D rendering salaries were $6,500/month
  • The internal team lacked the bandwidth for a long hiring cycle
  • External agencies risked inconsistent quality and slow turnaround
  • The client needed a dedicated creative fully aligned with the brand from day one

The Solution: Skilled LATAM 3D Rendering Talent with Immediate Impact

The company partnered with South to source a remote 3D Renderer who could create photorealistic visuals for their premium hardware line and integrate seamlessly with the internal design team.

We quickly scoped the ideal profile:

  • Strong CAD-to-3D rendering skills (Cinema 4D or 3DS Max + Photoshop)
  • Mastery of lighting, materials, and post-processing for realistic product visuals
  • Experience creating assets for product launches, marketing campaigns, and sales materials
  • Self-managed, detail-oriented, and comfortable working remotely in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to collaborate with internal teams, incorporate feedback efficiently, and maintain brand consistency

Within 3 weeks, we delivered a Latin America-based 3D Renderer ready to produce high-quality, on-brand renders that accelerated product launches and freed the internal team to focus on innovation.

The Results: Photorealistic Impact, Seamless Integration, and Sustainable Costs

Tatiana joined the team as a Senior 3D Artist & Designer based in Costa Rica, bringing 8+ years of experience delivering high-end visuals for global brands like Colgate, Nike, and Volkswagen.

She stood out for:

  • Expert photorealistic rendering skills: mastery in CAD-to-3D workflows, lighting, and post-processing aligned perfectly with the client’s premium product line.
  • End-to-end production experience: capable of handling the full rendering pipeline — from CAD cleanup and material optimization to final, polished visuals for marketing and sales.
  • Cross-platform versatility: experience delivering stills, animations, AR/VR, and WebGL assets, enabling the client to expand visual storytelling for campaigns and launches.
  • Independent, detail-oriented workflow: seamless integration with the remote design team, delivering high-quality outputs without long onboarding cycles.

Key Outcomes

  • 65% savings vs. U.S.-based hires
  • 22 days to hire
