How can you customize your 3D art portfolio for a specific client or job?

1 Know your audience

Before you start editing your portfolio, you need to research your target audience. Who are they? What kind of 3D art do they produce or need? What are their goals and preferences? What are their standards and criteria? You can find out by browsing their website, social media, blog, or portfolio, or by asking them directly if possible. Knowing your audience will help you select and present your 3D art in a way that matches their vision and values.

2 Choose relevant projects

Your portfolio should demonstrate your ability to create 3D art that fits the scope, style, and quality of the project or job you are applying for. Therefore, you should choose only the projects that are relevant to the type of 3D art you want to do. For example, if you are applying for a game design job, you should include 3D models, environments, characters, and animations that are suitable for games. If you are applying for a product visualization job, you should include 3D renders of products, packaging, or prototypes that are realistic and detailed. Avoid including projects that are outdated, unfinished, or unrelated to your target audience.

4 Organize and format your portfolio

Your portfolio should be easy to navigate and view by your target audience. You should organize your projects in a logical and clear way, such as by category, genre, or date. You should also format your portfolio in a professional and attractive way, such as using high-resolution images, videos, or interactive elements, adding captions, titles, or descriptions, and using a consistent and appealing layout, color scheme, and font. You should also make sure your portfolio is compatible with different devices and platforms, such as desktop, mobile, or web.
