Why is a 3D portfolio the "first fighting force" of a case taker?
For a freelancer, your portfolio is your face.
On Ficuz, when clients look for designers, the first thing they look at is usually not your profile, but yourIs the work attractive enough and is it suitable for your taste?.
Whether you want to do character modeling, game scenes, animation or product visualization, your portfolio is the first step in your conversation with a client. If done well, you can win your customers’ trust before they even say a word.
The first step to building a portfolio: choosing the right platform
You don’t necessarily need to build your own website. There are many platforms commonly used by designers now, with low barriers to establishment and simple operation:
- ArtStation：Most commonly used in games and animation
- Behance：A comprehensive display platform in the design field
- Ficuz: You can attach pictures or videos to your service package to directly direct traffic to the transaction
👉 建議先在其中一個平台建立完整作品，再同步補充在 Ficuz 上的個人檔案或服務包中。
What should a good 3D portfolio include?
✅ 高模 vs 低模對比圖
Demonstrate your mastery of modeling accuracy and resource optimization, especially for projects such as games and art that require a balance between quality and performance.
✅ 材質與貼圖細節展示
Add renderings under different light sources, PBR texture instructions or Node arrangement screenshots to let the other party know that you understand the process and can control light.
✅ 動畫 / 動作展示（如適用）
If you have the ability of rigging or simple animation, you can record a turntable or dynamic demo to improve the completeness.
✅ 專案敘述文字
Simply add information about each work such as purpose, goal, production time, software used, etc. These can help customers understand your strengths and positioning more quickly.
Common portfolio mistakes (avoid them)
⚠️ 不要直接上傳太多類似風格的圖，容易讓人看不出重點
⚠️ 不要只放 WIP（未完成作品），除非你特別標註並搭配流程說明
⚠️ 不要空有圖片卻沒內容描述，客戶無法知道你到底會什麼
✅ 記住一點：Your portfolio is the reason why clients are willing to spend money on you.
How to enhance the exposure and conversion of your portfolio?
- Attach the link of the work in the service package
On the Ficuz "Find Talent" page, customers will see your service card. If you attach high-quality work display pictures, it will greatly increase clicks and trust. - Establish corresponding work classification according to service content
If you sell character modeling services, don't post a bunch of product renderings. Designing content for target audiences will lead to better conversion results. - Let the pictures speak for themselves, but the text should also be in place
Clients may not understand the technical aspects of each picture. By adding simple explanations, you can help non-technical clients understand how professional you are.
Conclusion: You are not just a designer, you are a brand
A portfolio is not just a display of your work, it is your way of "positioning yourself".
Every picture, every text, and every category is helping you shape three things: "Who am I, what am I good at, and am I worthy of cooperation."
Instead of waiting for others to get to know you,It is better to let the work speak first.
