I’m in pre-production on a 15 to 60 minute 3D short and I want the entire project to achieve a grounded, cinematic realism. The story features people, several animals, and a handful of detailed props, so every asset—from skin and fur to hard-surface objects—needs to read convincingly on screen. I need one artist (or a tight-knit team) who can take each asset through the full pipeline: clean topology modelling, production-ready rigging, and expressive, physically accurate animation. If you’re most comfortable in Maya, Blender, Houdini, or a similar high-end package that’s fine with me; what matters is the end result matches real-world motion, weight, and surface detail. I will supply a script. You’ll handle character and environment creation, set up flexible rigs suitable for both body and facial performance, then animate the final shots ready for lighting and render on my side. Please factor in feedback rounds so we can refine performance and maintain consistency across human, animal, and prop animation. Deliverables on sign-off: • Source scene files with organised outliner and non-destructive rigs • Alembic or FBX caches for animation hand-off • Playblast previews (1080p) for each shot If you thrive on realistic 3D character work and enjoy owning the full asset life-cycle, let’s talk dates and milestones.

Good morning Customer, An attractive, ambitious and exciting project, although with a very wide range between 15 and 60 min. We work in 3d and we are prepared for these projects. We adapt the pipelines so that Blender is the tool of our team, although we work in Clarisse IFX, Houdini or Maya. I recommend Blender for now, which is what allows us to deliver and do immediately and at a price that does not involve licenses and is real. You can see my profile and you will see the renders and animations, so you won't find it on this platform

Hello, I will begin by immersing myself in the narrative of your 3D short animation, ensuring that each character and scene conveys the intended emotion and story arc. My approach will involve thorough storyboarding to visualize the flow, followed by creating detailed 3D models that capture the essence of your vision. I will focus on crafting realistic animations that breathe life into the characters, paying close attention to the subtleties of movement and expression. Throughout the process, I will maintain open communication to ensure alignment with your creative direction. To facilitate a smooth workflow, I will structure the project into clear milestones. We can start with a small initial milestone where I deliver a short or partial version of the animation for your review. Once you’re satisfied with the direction and quality, we can proceed with the remaining scope, ensuring that your vision is realized effectively. Best regards,

Hey, I specialize in realistic 3D character and creature production from clean topology modeling and production, ready rigging to cinematic animation, so building grounded human and animal performances for a film project like yours is exactly the kind of work I focus on. I can handle the full pipeline for your short, creating believable characters, animals, and props, setting up flexible body and facial rigs, and delivering expressive animation with proper weight and motion ready for your lighting and rendering stage. All scene files will be clean, organized, and delivered with FBX/Alembic caches plus 1080p playblasts for review during feedback rounds. As a bonus, I can also provide early animation blocking previews to speed up approvals and help keep the production timeline efficient. The scope and milestone based timeline you described works well for me and I’m ready to start once the script and asset list are shared. Do you already have character design references or concept art for the humans and animals, or should those be developed during the modeling stage? Best Regards, Mahmoud Sheeded
