About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building modern artificial intelligence. Experts create demonstrations, evaluations, and structured feedback that help AI systems learn how to complete real-world tasks. In this role, your Blender workflows will become training data and benchmarks for models learning professional 3D software.

• Work remotely with a computer, Blender, and approved screen capture tools.
• Contribute to cutting-edge AI systems through practical 3D software expertise.
• Build experience in a fast-growing field that includes data collection, annotation, evaluation, and model benchmarking.

The Role

OpenTrain is recruiting an intermediate Blender 3D AI Training Expert for a part-time hourly contract. You will design and record realistic Blender tasks that reflect professional production work, document the workflows clearly, and define objective criteria for evaluating AI agent attempts.

The role requires at least 20 hours per week and pays $18-$30 per hour. Work is available to contractors in the eligible countries listed below.

• Employment type: Contractor, part-time
• Experience level: Intermediate
• Time requirement: 20+ hours per week

What You'll Do

You will create complete, production-realistic Blender tasks and demonstrate how an experienced 3D artist would solve them. Each recording should capture the relevant actions, interface state, and file changes so that AI systems can learn from the workflow and be evaluated against it.

You will also review other contributors' recordings for completeness and accuracy, apply detailed rubrics consistently, and maintain project quality standards throughout the work.

• Author Blender tasks covering modeling, retopology, UV work, materials, lighting, and rendering.
• Create tasks ranging from simple operations to complex, multi-step workflows.
• Record end-to-end expert demonstrations using provided screen capture tools.
• Document workflows step by step in clear professional English.
• Define verification and success criteria that support objective scoring of AI attempts.
• Review and quality-check other contributors' recordings.
• Keep recordings free of personal information and use only approved applications.

Requirements

This role is intended for a Blender-focused 3D artist with 2-5 years of professional experience and strong practical knowledge of the full 3D workflow. You should be comfortable explaining your process, troubleshooting problems, and turning expert judgment into objective evaluation criteria.

• Professional Blender-focused 3D artist experience of 2-5 years.
• Proficiency in modeling, clean topology, modifiers, modifier stack workflows, and UV unwrapping.
• Proficiency with materials, shading, lighting, and rendering in Cycles or EEVEE.
• Experience with node-based systems, including Shader Editor and Geometry Nodes.
• Ability to troubleshoot bad topology, non-manifold geometry, shading problems, scale issues, and other common 3D problems.
• Strong analytical skills for defining objective verification criteria for 3D tasks.
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher, with clear written workflow documentation.
• Ability to apply detailed rubrics consistently across many similar tasks.
• Self-directed approach and strong asynchronous work habits.
• Previous experience in AI data training, annotation, evaluation, or benchmarking.

Equipment and Work Setup

You must have a computer capable of running Blender alongside a screen recorder. The computer may run Windows 11, Ubuntu, or macOS. Recordings should accurately show the workflow while following the project's application and privacy standards.

• Windows 11, Ubuntu, or macOS computer.
• Hardware capable of running Blender and a screen recorder at the same time.
• Reliable setup for detailed, asynchronous remote work.

Who Should Apply

Apply if you are an experienced Blender artist who enjoys breaking down complex 3D work into clear, repeatable steps. This opportunity is especially suited to someone who combines production knowledge with careful documentation, analytical thinking, and an interest in shaping how AI agents use professional creative software.

• Blender artists who can explain both what they do and why they do it.
• 3D professionals who understand topology, shading, scale, materials, and rendering quality.
• Contributors with prior AI training, annotation, evaluation, or benchmarking experience.
• Independent workers who can manage detailed tasks and asynchronous collaboration.
