3D Designer

Hi there, we're Article. We're a North American based furniture company creating remarkably better furniture experiences one sofa at a time. And as the 3D Designer, you'll create high-quality 3D models for furniture and product visualization by converting SolidWorks models and scanned OBJ files into optimized 3ds Max assets.
Why We Need You:
As a 3D Designer, your main tasks will include re-topology, UV mapping, and texturing using Substance Designer. You will also review and improve vendor-created models to ensure they meet our quality standards. There might be occasions that you need to travel within Vietnam to factories for data capture, scanning, or measurements.
Why would a furniture company have a 3D & CGI team?
Our new 3D & CGI team at Article plays a pivotal role in showcasing our products and driving customer engagement. Your work will contribute to the visual appeal of our brand and directly impact customer perception.
CGI enables Article to expand the horizons of the eCommerce shopping experience in many new ways, including augmented reality, product and space configurators, and beyond.
This transformative approach offers us the speed and flexibility to remain highly competitive and carve out new ways to impress customers and gain market share.
Why Article?
While, we sell to the North American market, we work closely with a number of our manufacturing partners throughout Asia. As a result we have an office in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where we currently have around 50 Particles (people of Article) working.
As a Particle (people of Article), you will have a high level of autonomy to solve challenging, meaningful problems the best way you can. That means you're trusted to explore solutions you believe will work best (you're the expert, after all). You'll do all this while growing your skills within a company that is redefining the furniture industry.
What You'll Do:
You'll be part of a team of 10 international marketing professionals working to build the asset library and ensure the accuracy of the product information.
• Convert SolidWorks parts/ assemblies and 3D scanned OBJ files into clean, native 3ds Max models.
