Ever heard of freelancing?
She can sell her skills on freelance websites like:
Freelancer dot com
Fiverr dot com
Upwork dot com

if she's good at what she does she can be raking thousands or millions monthly.

She has to have the zeal first , if she's talented , jobs will come , she can do adverts for companies , feature in movie productions , etc but the passion gats dey . Because 3D has a steep learning curve

There are quite a few places that require the services of a 3d modeller. Some might also require a good knowledge of 2d design though

1) Branding agency - I personally worked 5years at an agency creating 3d visualizations for planned events, exhibition stands and product designs. There are quite a few agencies looking for graphics artists with 3d skills from time to time.

2) Architecture and interior design firms- creating 3d visualizations of architectural plans and interior design. I know a guy that worked creating 3d models of only furniture for an interior design shop. I don't see job offers from arch firms as often though.

3) TV/video production - that will require creating motion graphics for TV stations and video production houses. Might also require knowledge of 2d video editing softwares like premiere and after effects.

4) Freelancing on freelance sites as someone already mentioned, which is what I'm currently doing.

5) Film/3d animation/video games - this would have been the most ideal for most 3d artists here, but unfortunately, there's no budding industry presently for 3d artists in Nigeria.

The film industry is the most mature in Nigeria, but I don't see the use of 3d that much.

Video games industry, non existent.

3d animation/movies - there are a few studios out there, but I don't think they employ 3d artists very often if at all. This again shows a lack of growth in that field.
