Architectural 3D Model - Traditional Hindu Shrine

# 3D Artist Needed – Custom South Indian Temple / Sami Medai Wall Panel

## Project Description

I am looking for an experienced **3D artist / CAD designer / 3D modeler** to create a highly detailed **South Indian Hindu temple-style Sami Medai (pooja shrine) wall panel** based on the reference image I will provide.

The final design should closely follow the **overall architecture, symmetry, proportions, decorative elements, and relief details** of the reference image while creating a clean, professional 3D model suitable for manufacturing.

This is **not just a rendering project**. I need an actual 3D model with proper geometry that can eventually be used for **3D printing, CNC machining, resin casting, or mould production**.

## Design Requirements

The model should include:

* Large rectangular outer frame
* Traditional South Indian / Dravidian temple architecture
* Symmetrical left and right sides
* Grey stone/granite-style architectural structure
* Detailed carved temple pillars
* Central recessed shrine/sanctum
* Central Hindu deity
* Golden temple-style upper vimana/gopuram
* Decorative yali/temple guardian sculptures on both sides
* Gold-colored decorative lattice panels
* Multiple stepped architectural layers
* Ornamental temple carvings
* Lotus and floral motifs
* Traditional South Indian decorative borders
* Elephant and other temple-inspired relief details
* Detailed lower pedestal/base
* Decorative mouldings and architectural reliefs
* Black/dark outer frame

The design should have **real physical 3D depth**, not just textures or bump maps.

## Important

The back of the complete panel must be **flat** because the finished product will be mounted against a wall.

The model should be designed with manufacturing in mind. Avoid unnecessarily thin, fragile, floating, or unsupported decorative elements.

The main architectural elements should have clearly defined relief depths.

## 3D Modeling Requirements

I need:

1. High-detail 3D model
2. Clean and watertight geometry
3. Properly separated components where appropriate
4. Flat rear mounting surface
5. Symmetrical architecture
6. Manufacturing-friendly geometry
7. High-quality sculpted/carved details
8. Correct proportions based on the reference image

The model may eventually be divided into several manufacturing components, such as:

* Outer frame
* Left architectural section
* Right architectural section
* Central shrine
* Upper vimana
* Deity
* Side sculptures
* Lower pedestal

Please advise on the best way to divide the model for manufacturing.

## Software

You may use **Blender, ZBrush, 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or another suitable 3D modeling/sculpting software**.

If useful, AI tools such as **Tripo AI** may be used for initial generation, but the final model must be **professionally cleaned, corrected, and optimized manually**.

I do NOT want an unedited AI-generated model.

## Required Deliverables

Please provide:

* High-resolution 3D model
* STL files for 3D printing
* OBJ file
* STEP/IGES or another suitable CAD format if possible
* Separate component files
* Final assembled model
* Basic dimensions of the complete panel
* Source/native project file
* High-quality preview renders

If the model needs to be separated into multiple parts for manufacturing, provide each part as an individual file.

## Reference Image

I will provide the reference image. The goal is to create a **3D version with very similar overall appearance and architectural detailing**, while ensuring the model is suitable for actual manufacturing.

## Freelancer Requirements

Please apply only if you have experience with:

* Detailed architectural 3D modeling
* Temple/ornamental modelling
* Relief sculpture
* 3D printing models
* CNC-ready models
* ZBrush/Blender sculpting
* CAD modeling
* Complex symmetrical designs

Please send **2–3 examples of your previous detailed 3D modeling work**, especially architectural, religious, ornamental, relief, or 3D-printing projects.

I am looking for someone who can produce **manufacturing-quality 3D geometry, not just a beautiful render**.

Please also provide your **estimated price, delivery time, software you will use, and number of revisions included**.
