3D Modeling Internship

Job Summary

As a 3D Modeling Intern, you will work fully remotely as part of WebstaurantStore’s 3D team, supporting AR related modeling projects and product visualization needs. This role reports to the 3D Modeling Manager and works closely with experienced 3D artists who provide direction, feedback, and support throughout the modeling process.

A typical day may include reviewing assigned tasks, creating or modifying 3D models in Blender, preparing assets for AR use, applying feedback from reviews, and providing progress updates during team check-ins. This position helps the department produce accurate, optimized, and high quality 3D assets that support WebstaurantStore’s digital product experience and broader business goals.

This is a full-time, paid, fully remote internship with flexible scheduling, provided equipment and software, and support from a collaborative 3D team.

Remote Work Qualifications

• Access to a reliable and secure high-speed internet connection. Cable or fiber internet connections (at least 75mbps download/10mbps upload) are preferred, as satellite connections often cannot support the technologies used to perform day-to-day tasks.
• Access to a home router and modem.
• A dedicated home office space that is noise- and distraction-free. The space should have strong wireless connection or a wired Ethernet connection (wired connection is preferred, if possible).
