I’m a 3D product artist looking to make contacts for jobs making products on Shopify pop. Where do I go to make connections for this?

Hi @Jix3D :waving_hand: any of the typical design marketplaces found on the internet, or your own website

For shopify specifically https://www.shopify.com/3d > partners program > partner slack > do your networking with other partners.

Search the app store for 3D modeling apps and follow the breadcrumbs there to see if any provide bespoke services and in turn maybe possibly perhaps outsource work.

Since you have a forum account setup notifications for 3D modeling keywords, just be aware IMO it’s pretty rare for a merchant specifically looking for a 3d artist on a forum so it is not something to bank on.
