Blender 3D Generalist (Windows, Remote)
Listing checked September 13, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor needs professionals who already use specialized applications in real production work. For this role, you must have Blender installed on your own Windows PC and be able to open the program today. The company does not supply software licenses, virtual machines, or hardware. Your work will focus on 3D modeling, sculpting, animation, and rendering with Blender, a tool used by 3D artists, animators, motion designers, and technical artists. You also need a display setup that can capture screenshots above 2.5 megapixels, either through one high-resolution monitor or two 1920x1080+ screens in a spanning arrangement.
What You'll Do6
- 1Open and work in Blender on your Windows PC for assigned tasks.
- 2Build and edit 3D assets using Blender's modeling, sculpting, animation, and rendering tools.
- 3Capture screenshots from your display setup that meet the more than 2.5 megapixel requirement.
- 4Use a qualifying single monitor or dual-monitor spanning setup to document work.
- 5Keep Blender available and functional on your own hardware without company-provided licenses or virtual machines.
- 6Follow project instructions from Mercor as a remote contract contributor.
Requirements6
- 1Have Blender installed on your own Windows PC and open it today.
- 2Show hands-on experience as a 3D artist, animator, motion designer, or technical artist.
- 3Provide a display setup that captures screenshots above 2.5 megapixels.
- 4Meet the display rule with one high-resolution monitor at a qualifying aspect ratio and resolution.
- 5Or use two 1920x1080 or higher monitors in a spanning dual-screen setup.
- 6Note that one 1080p screen from a dual-monitor pair does not qualify on its own.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate has hands-on Blender experience as a 3D artist, animator, motion designer, or technical artist, plus a Windows PC with Blender ready to open today. Just as important is a display setup that captures screenshots above 2.5 megapixels, whether through one high-resolution monitor or two 1920x1080+ screens in a spanning dual setup. Candidates who need Mercor to provide Blender, a virtual machine, or hardware will not fit this engagement. A common reason for low fit is a display setup that cannot capture more than 2.5 megapixels, such as a single 1080p monitor used as one half of a dual-screen pair. Another rejection point is listing general 3D software familiarity without ready access to Blender on Windows today.
Salary Insight
Mercor lists $30 to $40 per hour for this remote contract. That range gives you a clear pay band before you apply, and your final rate may depend on your Blender portfolio and how well your display setup meets the hardware requirement.
