Aram M.

3D Product & Hard-Surface Artist | CAD, 3D Scans, PBR, GLB/USDZ

I’m a 3D artist with 15+ years of professional experience creating, cleaning, optimizing, texturing, and rendering 3D models for products, e-commerce, manufacturing, and real-time applications. My main strength is taking a product from raw or technical data to a clean, production-ready 3D asset. I work with: • 3ds Max — my primary 3D software since 2009 • Blender — scan cleanup, optimization, UVs, textures, GLB/USDZ and real-time assets • SolidWorks — parametric CAD and product modeling • KeyShot — professional product rendering and visualization • ZBrush — detailed mesh cleanup and surface correction • Substance tools — PBR materials and texture workflows • UVLayout — professional UV unwrapping • Photoshop — render compositing, retouching, material and texture corrections • Marmoset — real-time presentation and baking workflows My experience includes: • Hard-surface product modeling from drawings, CAD and reference images • Converting CAD and 3D scan data into clean production-ready models • Retopology and rebuilding missing or damaged geometry • Mesh cleanup and optimization for real-time applications • UV unwrapping and efficient texture layouts • PBR material creation and texture correction • Baking normal, AO and other texture maps • GLB and USDZ asset preparation • Organized hierarchies, modular components and correct pivots • E-commerce and Amazon product visualization • Photorealistic product rendering • Exploded product renders and technical presentations • Product composites and Photoshop post-production • Furniture and interior/product visualization I have extensive experience working with scanned 3D products and have processed well over 1,000 scanned footwear assets, including mesh cleanup, optimization, UV correction, texture work and preparation for digital publishing. I also have a strong product-visualization background. For example, I have created complete product presentations involving modeling, materials, photorealistic rendering, exploded views, transparent plastics and Photoshop compositing. My professional background includes furniture modeling, automotive-related 3D work, furniture/product design, scanned-product processing and digital 3D asset publishing. This gives me experience not only with software, but with understanding how real physical products are constructed and how their geometry and materials need to behave. I’m comfortable adapting to new software, pipelines and technical requirements when a project requires it. I can work from CAD, scans, drawings, photographs, existing meshes or incomplete reference material and determine the appropriate workflow for the final deliverable. Depending on the project, I can deliver: 3D model → clean topology → UVs → PBR textures → baked maps → optimized real-time asset → GLB/USDZ → product renders → final Photoshop presentation. If you need someone who can handle the complete 3D workflow rather than only one isolated stage, I can take responsibility for the asset from source data through final delivery.
