3D Generalist Jobs FAQ
What does a 3D generalist do in games?
A 3D generalist handles multiple aspects of 3D production: characters, environments, props, and sometimes rigging or VFX. They are most common at smaller studios and indie teams where one artist covers several pipeline stages rather than specializing in one area.
Is a 3D generalist better than a specialist?
Neither is objectively better. Generalists are valuable at smaller studios and as contractors because they can fill multiple roles. Specialists command higher salaries at large AAA studios where deep expertise is required. Many artists start as generalists and specialize over time as they discover what they enjoy most.
What is the average 3D generalist salary?
In the US: Junior 3D Generalists earn $48K-$65K, Mid-Level $65K-$90K, Senior $88K-$120K, and Lead positions $115K-$145K. Generalists who develop a strong secondary specialization alongside their general ability tend to earn toward the higher end.
What types of studios hire 3D generalists?
Indie and mid-size studios, mobile game companies, outsourcing studios, and startups hire the most generalists. Larger AAA studios tend to hire specialists, but they also hire generalists for rapid prototyping, small internal teams, and early-stage development.
Should I specialize or stay a 3D generalist?
If you want to work at large AAA studios long-term, specializing eventually makes sense. If you prefer indie games, mobile, or contracting, staying a generalist keeps your options open. Many successful artists maintain strong generalist skills with one area of deep expertise.
Are there remote 3D generalist jobs?
Yes, and remote roles are very common for generalists specifically because indie and small studios often operate fully remote. ArtBlast includes work model details on every listing so you can filter by remote, hybrid, or on-site positions.
