3D Model/Rigging/Animation for Virtual Pet Game Characters

Looking for a 3D Artist/Animator to design meshes, textures, rigging, and animation for two virtual pet game characters: a kitten and a puppy. We will provide you with concept art and with starting meshes, which are already rigged. The meshes are high quality with many morphing parameters. You will need to adjust the meshes to better fit the concept art and design a walking animation (adjust rigging if necessary). The starting models are in DAZ3D and the end result also needs to be in DAZ3D, so familiarity with this software will make this an easy job. Familiarity with Blender is also a plus, as we will need you to export the models/animations from DAZ to Blender. We will need more animations for these characters, and will also likely need additional characters, so follow on work is very likely. This is just the first step. These characters will be used in a game, so we will need several LOD versions of the meshes (medium to low poly). Also, it is very important that the walking loop begins/ends in the same pose and that if the character is moving at a constant velocity, the feet do not slide on the ground. DAZ3D is free software available at [login to view URL] Blender is also free software: [login to view URL] Please specify your rate and an estimate of the number of hours required. We are on a tight schedule, so will need you to work quickly.
