    I have a quick turnaround job that needs to be finished today: two short Blender pieces—one drawn with Grease Pencil and one built in 3D—that show solid animation fundamentals. The first clip is a 2D Grease Pencil sequence. Clean, confident strokes and clear poses are more important than elaborate detail; think of a 5–10 second beat that shows appealing squash-and-stretch and strong timing. The second clip is the classic ball-and-pendulum exercise in 3D. I want weight, arcs, ease-in/ease-out, and believable overlap. No textures or lighting studies needed; default materials are fine as long as the motion reads. Please work in the current public Blender build so the project files open without add-on issues. Deliverables (today): • The .blend file containing both sc...

    I have one clear reference image of a spacecraft that I need turned into a game-ready 3D asset for Unreal Engine 5.7. The finished model should sit comfortably in a real-time engine, so I’m aiming for medium detail: clean topology, sensible poly count, and UVs that will allow me to drop in PBR textures later. Please work natively in the software of your choice—Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, etc.—and supply the final file as an FBX. If you can bake a simple normal map from a high-poly pass to boost surface detail without inflating the geometry, that would be perfect. Deliverables: • FBX file of the spacecraft with medium-detail geometry • Packed texture sets or placeholder materials ready for PBR workflow Once I import the model into my game project, I’ll ...

    I’m putting together a concise, entertainment-focused 2D horror story that leans on realism and steadily building suspense rather than overt gore. The goal is a visually striking, atmospheric piece that keeps viewers on edge from the very first frame, all while working within a modest budget. What I already have in mind • A unique visual style that still feels grounded in reality—think detailed backgrounds, believable motion, and subtle character lighting. • A tight runtime so every second counts, keeping pacing and tension front and center. • A final deliverable suitable for online platforms (1080p MP4 or similar). What I’m counting on you for • Storyboarding and animatic to lock down timing and camera moves. • Clean 2D animation in t...

    I need a series of short 3D clips that demonstrate a wide range of movements—strength-training reps, cardio drills, flexibility work, and classic yoga poses. I will supply reference videos and a numbered list of every exercise so you can focus on animating rather than guessing the motion. Each clip is about ten seconds long, shot from a locked-off camera against a pure white background. The performer is a single, realistic male model. As the motion plays, the primary muscle group should briefly glow red at the moment of peak contraction so viewers instantly understand what they are engaging. Because these animations will live inside a training app, seamless looping and clean silhouette are important. Render at 1080p (30 fps) and also hand over the source scene files so I can tweak ...

    I have a student short film oriented in a semi-realistic style inspired by Arcane, and I need an experienced animator capable of diving straight into the spline and polishing. The scenes are already blocked; what is missing are the splines that give the character's body movements in short action sequences fluidity and realism. Here is what I am looking for: • Cleaned spline keys and refined curves that eliminate jerks and jumps. • Polished body mechanics with convincing timing, arcs, and follow-through. • The editable scene file (Maya 2025) delivered in two weeks. The schedule is tight and the budget modest—around $100—so I hope to find someone available to start immediately.

    I will send you a vertical MP4 reel (9:16) together with a reference render of our 3-D model. Every line of dialogue, the background music, timing, and overall resolution must stay untouched; only the on-screen character changes. Please match the new model’s proportions, textures, and facial nuances exactly to the reference so the swap feels native to the footage. Clean tracking and compositing are essential—no clipping, jitter, or colour drift—and the finished file should come back to me as a ready-to-post MP4 in the same aspect ratio. If you work comfortably in tools such as Blender, Maya, After Effects, or similar and can guarantee a seamless, detail-perfect replacement, I’d love to see your approach and a quick sample of comparable work.
