Look, "3D Design" is such a massive, vague umbrella term. Are we talking low/high poly modeling, texturing, animation? Or is it interior design, architectural renders, 3D printing, or full-blown cinematic animations? You gotta define what you actually do first.

Just put your work out there wherever you can—seriously, throw it on TikTok too. Honestly, if you drop one solid, high-quality animation that’s over five minutes long on YouTube, that tells people everything they need to know about your skills. Pair that with a decent portfolio website and start hunting for gigs on Upwork, Toptal, or whatever similar freelance platforms are trending.
And yeah—brace yourself for the grind at the start. You'll probably have to take some lower-paying gigs initially just to build up those ratings and prove you aren't a flake.

Just thought I’d chime in. 🙂
I’ve been messing around in Blender for, what, twenty-plus years now? It’s basically part of my DNA at this point. Back in the day, I was mostly obsessed with making animations—just playing around with movement—but lately, I’ve shifted gears almost entirely toward modeling stuff for 3D printing.
I’ve watched the whole thing evolve from the ground up, and man, it’s a completely different beast than it used to be. It started out as this little playground for hobbyists like me, but nowadays? It’s gone full pro. And honestly, I still haven't quite made that jump to the big leagues myself. 🙂
