D Photorealistic Render Designer

3D Photorealistic Render Designer — AI ToolsPart-Time and Remote | Flexible Hours (US overlap preferred) | Long-Term Contract
About the RoleOur client, a company entering the packaging industry, needs a highly skilled AI/3D visual creator to produce photorealistic marketing imagery of food products inside plastic packaging — without the cost of real photoshoots. This is a technically demanding, detail-heavy role: the output needs to look completely real, at scale, across many product and branding variations.
Key ResponsibilitiesUse AI generation and 3D rendering tools to create photorealistic images of food (fruits, sandwiches, desserts, yogurt, etc.) inside plastic containersProduce large volumes of consistent, on-brand variations (e.g., the same container concept adapted for different client brands and food types)Solve for realism issues common in AI-generated food imagery — inconsistent edges, unnatural repetition (identical-looking items), and physically implausible results (e.g., produce that doesn't fit naturally inside the container)Create both "in-fridge" and "in-warehouse" style compositions showing packaged products in contextApply client branding accurately and consistently across generated assetsIterate quickly based on feedback to refine realism and composition
RequirementsStrong hands-on experience with AI image/render generation tools (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, Kling, Stable Diffusion, or similar)Experience with 3D rendering or compositing software (e.g., KeyShot, Blender, Cinema 4D) is a strong plusA portfolio demonstrating photorealistic product or food visualization workSharp eye for physical and visual realism — proportion, lighting, texture, natural variationNice to have: experience with packaging, food, or CPG product visualizationNice to have: experience producing high-volume, templated visual content across product/brand variations
Ideal CandidateSomeone with a designer's eye and a technical understanding of AI generation tools — able to spot exactly why an AI-generated image looks "almost real but not quite," and knows how to fix it. This person is meticulous about detail, comfortable producing large batches of consistent, varied output, and can work independently to hit a high creative bar.
