Project Title: 3D Character Artist - High-Detail Stylized Models (Rigged / Humanoid) - Focus on Facial Appeal Project Description: We are looking for a talented 3D Character Artist to create high-quality stylized characters (Male and Female). We provide clear AI-generated reference images (Front, Profile, 3/4) that must be followed strictly. The most important part of this project is "Appeal." We need an artist who can capture "pretty/handsome" and energetic aesthetics. The model must not look "flat" or "tired" in the face; we require high attention to facial depth and structural volume. Key Requirements: Advanced Facial Modeling: Expertise in translating 2D/AI references into 3D. You must understand feminine and masculine facial anatomy (tapered chins, almond-shaped eyes, and correct planar changes in the profile view). Layered Hair Cards (Crucial): We do NOT want solid mesh/plastic-looking hair. You must be proficient in creating layered hair cards with high-quality Alpha/Opacity maps to achieve a soft, wispy look. Stylized Realism: The style is similar to modern high-end "semi-realistic" games (e.g., Final Fantasy, Overwatch 2, or Genshin Impact). Optimized for Godot: The final assets must be fully compatible with the Godot Engine. Technical Specifications: Model: Max polygon count: 20,000 to 30,000 triangles (Body + Clothing). Ready for real-time rendering. Skeleton: Must be built based on Humanoid model standards (Ref: Godot SkeletonProfileHumanoid). Proper topology for key joints (shoulders, elbows, etc.) is mandatory to avoid deformation. Rigging/Weighting: Must cover basic facial expressions (blinking, smiling, etc.) + body movements. The rig must be fully compatible with the Godot Engine. Deliverables: 1. High-poly sculpt for approval. 2. Game-ready low-poly model (clean UVs/Topology). 3. Textures: Base Color (Diffuse), Normal Map, and Alpha Map for hair. 4. Rigged file (A-pose or T-pose) compliant with Humanoid standards. To Apply: Please send your portfolio. We are looking for artists who can demonstrate facial beauty and hair card expertise. If your portfolio only shows monsters, hard-surface machinery, or solid-mesh hair, you will not be considered.

Hi there, Capturing facial appeal in stylized characters requires precise planar control, subtle asymmetry, and well-layered hair cards to avoid flat or plastic results in real-time engines. We can create high-detail stylized characters with strong facial depth, optimized topology, and fully Godot-compatible rigs with clean deformation. To proceed accurately ✅ Do you have a target poly budget within 20–30k per character? ✅ Any specific shader setup or rendering style for Godot? ✅ Required number of blendshapes or facial expressions? Check portfolio: www.freelancer.com/u/rvwebfreelancing/animation-15015-3 We will be happy to address any questions and ensure a smooth project process. Ready when you are. Buildtrix Studio

Hi, this is a really exciting project and I like the strong focus you’ve placed on facial appeal and stylized realism. I’ve worked on character design and understand how important it is to translate references accurately while keeping the face lively and appealing, especially with proper depth and structure. I’m comfortable following front, profile and 3/4 references closely and maintaining consistency across angles. For hair, I fully understand the requirement for layered hair cards with soft alpha maps to avoid that solid mesh look. I can also ensure clean topology, optimized polycount, and a rigged humanoid setup suitable for real time engines like Godot. I’d approach this by first creating a high quality sculpt for approval, then moving into optimized low poly, clean UVs, textures and full rigging.
