Blender is free for 3d
gimp is free for 2d
Inkscape is also free for Vector.
Also there’s stuff like this which will make a 3d model out of any 2d picture.
Some other one too which I cant find but it is really good.
Graphic Design is almost entirely dead now as a profession with advent of AI. 3d artist could work but it is only a matter of time unless it can be parlayed into game creation, licensing or some kind of in character universe. Companies wont need armies of artists now. They just need a few to create the original idea and then algorithms to make endless variations/situations of it.
I;ve been following this for the past year and it has escalated 1000x since then. There were just rudimentary shitty depictions and now very intricate stuff can be created almost instantaneously. It’ll be “good enough” for companies who’ve already sunk to the bottom. And video is just starting. All someone has to do is run an AI 3d model LLM and now they can easily create 3d art style of anything is what i’m saying. I am not into 3d modeling or video yet but i have noticed many different image to 3d modeler algorithms come and go on huggingface. So then that could be input into videos or games or what have you from any picture.
Not to be discouraging it is just that there are soon to be endless troves of these types of posts from graphic designers and artists for companies because theyre already being laid off en masse. As I mentioned, best to use the skills to augment something of ones own doing because not many peole are going to pay for this stuff. I suppose if youre in a small town you can try and get small businesses to do this but with advent of AI generators even people with no artistic experience or sense of quality control are creating entire branding campaigns and copy.

can also use google colab or huggingface to run the intensive stuff until you find a way to monetize and then buy a better GPU. Fiverr and reddit communities could work also. P2P.
