Hi, we're looking for a 3D artist to build a photorealistic 3D model of our wristwatch for marketing and web use (product renders and an interactive 360° viewer that we will produce ourselves). The important part is that the model looks exactly like the real product in the reference photos — correct proportions, realistic materials and the correct dial printing. The good news is that we have the original supplier CAD assembly, so the geometry does not need to be modeled from scratch; it needs to be converted, cleaned up, textured, lit and made render-ready. We will provide the following assets. The most important one is the full SolidWorks STEP assembly, which contains all ~36 parts: case, caseback with six screws, bezel, crown, sapphire crystal, the dial base with its guilloché relief, the rehaut, the hour/minute/second hands, all applied indices. We also provide seven product photos. Finally, we provide the vector logo. In terms of scope: please convert the STEP into a clean render mesh while keeping the parts separate so materials can be assigned per component, with smooth curved surfaces but crisp edges (angle-based/auto-smooth shading). For deliverables we only need the finished model, since we handle all renders, turntables and the web viewer ourselves. The primary deliverable is the editable Blender (.blend) source file with organized, named parts, PBR materials, packed textures and a basic studio lighting setup. In addition we'd like a .glb/.gltf export at real-world scale with embedded textures for our web viewer. One or two reference renders to show the intended look are enough — no full render package is required from you.

As a highly detail-oriented freelancer with extensive experience in 3D modeling and rendering, I'm well-equipped to take on your photorealistic wristwatch project. My background in STL modeling, 3D printing and intricate digital designs is a perfect match for the task at hand. Combining creativity, technical expertise, and a strong commitment to client satisfaction, I consistently deliver precise, high-quality work. Your project's focus on accuracy and realism resonates deeply with me. Having dealt with assembly fitment and product design in my previous work, I am proficient at converting and cleaning up CAD assets - like your STEP assembly - retaining their verisimilitude while ensuring they're render-ready. I am adept at rendering separate parts which then allows for proper material assignment per component. Ultimately, choosing me for this endeavor would grant you access to a seasoned professional capable of meticulously replicating your wristwatch down to the last intricate detail — such as the guilloché relief on the dial base — using the industry-leading software like Blender. Let’s collaborate closely and give life to your vision in the most precise and perfect way possible!

A wristwatch model only works if the geometry, materials, and dial print all agree with the real product. If any one of those drifts, it stops looking like the watch in your photos. I’ll keep the build clean and render-ready so it holds up in close product shots and in a 360° viewer. I’ll convert the STEP assembly into a tidy Blender scene with the parts separated and named, then refine the curves, crisp edges, and auto-smooth shading so the case, bezel, crown, crystal, and hands read correctly. I’ll match the guilloché dial relief, indices, and logo placement to your reference photos, then set up PBR materials and a simple studio light so the metal, crystal, and dial finish feel real. - Editable .blend file with organized parts and packed textures - .glb/.gltf export at real-world scale for web use - 1 to 2 reference renders for look approval You can review my previous work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/mqazi1000 Would you like me to start by matching the case and dial proportions first?

The SolidWorks STEP assembly means the geometry is there, but getting it to look like a real watch, not just CAD, is the hard part, so I will take the 36 parts and convert them into a clean 3D model using 3ds Max. I will focus on accurate material definition, so the stainless steel case will have the correct brushed finish, the sapphire crystal will have realistic reflections and refraction, and the dial will show the exact guilloché relief and print details from your references. Lighting will be set up to showcase these materials and details for photorealistic renders. I will not use procedural textures for the main watch components like the case or strap, because they don't capture the fine surface imperfections and material variations that make a product look real, so I will rely on high-quality texture maps derived from your reference images. Do the screws holding the caseback have individual modelled heads, or are they part of the caseback mesh? Preferred Freelancer here, and I have not missed a deadline or gone over an agreed price yet. Send the SolidWorks STEP file.

I can deliver a photorealistic 3D wristwatch model that precisely matches your reference photos, similar to how I've previously optimized complex mechanical assemblies for high-fidelity renders, ensuring exact proportions and accurate dial details. My approach will involve importing your supplier CAD, meticulously cleaning and optimizing the geometry for subdivision modeling and UV unwrapping. I'll then create physically-based materials using Substance Painter, focusing on achieving realistic metal, glass, and strap textures. Lighting will be set up for studio-quality product renders, with specific attention to capturing the fine details of the dial printing. Are there any specific lighting setups or camera angles you envision for the final renders? I'm confident I can meet your requirements and would be happy to discuss your project in more detail to ensure a perfect match.
