3D Modeller

3D Modeller - 4 months - Belgium

At RELYzIT, we don't recruit — we build.

We unite exceptional builders: engineers, architects, creators, across the BENELUX and the GCC.

Vetted through VECTOR7™'s multi-signal evaluation, you evaluate once and carry that credential forever.

This is more than work. This is where builders build the future.

Intro

Step into a mission-critical role where your 3D artistry shapes the future of immersive training for security and defense. RELYzIT Talent is seeking a freelance 3D Modeller for a 4-month project with our client, a national leader in XR, C-UAS, and Robotics innovation. Join a multidisciplinary team at the forefront of XR simulation, where your work directly impacts the readiness and safety of police, defense, and customs professionals.

Why This Role Matters

This is not just another modelling gig. As a 3D Modeller, you will empower operational teams with hyper-realistic XR environments, enabling them to train for high-stakes scenarios that demand precision and authenticity. Your creations will be used by special forces, police, and security services, making a tangible difference in national security and public safety. The assets you build will set the standard for immersive, effective training across Belgium and beyond.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and create high-quality, detailed 3D models of characters, vehicles, props, weapons, and environments in Blender for XR training simulators.


• Develop realistic textures and materials using PBR workflows to maximize immersion and visual fidelity.


• Optimize models, topology, and texture sizes (including LODs, poly counts, UV layouts) for seamless performance across XR platforms (VR, AR, MR).


• Collaborate closely with programmers, designers, fellow artists, and operational end users to ensure assets authentically simulate real-world challenges.


• Prepare, export, and integrate Blender assets into Unity, ensuring correct scale, pivot points, materials, and naming conventions.


• Build immersive environments and props that accurately reflect real-world locations and operational scenarios encountered by security forces.


• Rapidly prototype and iterate on 3D assets and environments to refine and enhance the training experience.


• Maintain clear, up-to-date documentation of asset pipelines, naming conventions, and processes to support knowledge sharing within the team and with partners.


• Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging tools in 3D art and XR, applying new techniques to improve asset quality and pipeline efficiency.

What We’re Looking For

• Ownership mindset: You take initiative, drive outcomes, and thrive in a builder-first environment.


• Problem-solving focus: You approach challenges with creativity and a commitment to delivering impact.


• Collaboration: You communicate effectively and work seamlessly with cross-functional teams, including operational end users.


• Attention to detail: You have a keen eye for realism, proportion, and authenticity in 3D environments.


• Adaptability: You stay current with evolving XR and 3D modelling technologies and workflows.

Technical Skills & Experience

• Strong proficiency in Blender: modelling, sculpting, UV unwrapping, texturing, and material creation.


• Demonstrated experience creating 3D assets and/or environments for games or XR simulators, with a portfolio showcasing your work.


• Solid understanding of PBR texturing workflows and tools such as Substance Painter or Substance Designer.


• Experience optimizing assets for real-time rendering on XR platforms (VR, AR, MR).


• Experience exporting and integrating assets into Unity (preferred), ensuring technical accuracy and performance.


• Experience with 3D scanning and digital reconstruction (LIDAR, photogrammetry) is a plus.


• Familiarity with operational training environments or previous work with police, defense, or security services is an advantage.


• Experience working with 3D scans and optimizing them for XR use is a plus.

Language Proficiency

• Proficiency in Dutch, French, and/or English is required.


• Strong communication skills to collaborate with diverse teams and stakeholders.

Other Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in 3D Art, Game Design, Animation, or a related field OR several years of proven industry experience with a comprehensive portfolio.


• Ability to work on-site in Belgium (no remote option).


• Experience in multidisciplinary, cross-functional teams is highly valued.

About the Role

• This is a freelance position for a 4-month project based in Belgium.


• You will be embedded within our client’s XR Core Team, collaborating with experts from defense, customs, regional authorities, and academic partners.


• RELYzIT Talent is committed to placing elite tech talent in roles that drive real-world impact and innovation.
