    I’m ready to turn my illustrated children’s book for ages 3-8 into a short 3D-animated video that will serve as a proof of concept for a future short film. All pages are illustrated and the narration script is final; what I need now is your skill in bringing the characters and settings to life in a warm, playful style that keeps very young viewers engaged. Scope • Translate each spread into simple, appealing 3D scenes. • Animate characters, props and light camera moves that match the pacing of the story. • Record or import the supplied narration, sync it perfectly to the action, and weave in gentle background music and spot SFX. • Keep the overall running time concise—around two to three minutes is ideal, though we can adjust once story-boards...

    UE 5.7 fighting game project. I need a custom Face Animation Blueprint that lets me play AnimSequences via PlaySlotAnimationAsDynamicMontage on a MetaHuman face skeletal mesh, bypassing the standard Face_AnimBP / Face_PostProcess_AnimBP assembled pipeline (which is consuming/zeroing slot output in my project). Build standalone in your own project — no access to mine required. Use a fresh UE 5.7 project + default MetaHuman sample for development and testing. Background (so you can skip diagnostics): My project uses TrueFGE (TRUE Fighting Game Engine, Glinda Games) as a Blueprint-only fighting game foundation. Spawned characters use MetaHuman wrappers. I have a custom function MaybePlayFaceReaction(Tag, Probability) on the base character that successfully: ∙ Finds the Face skeletal me...

    I need a complete, clean 3Ds Max 2020 with modeling and materials only. Acceptable Price for this job is $200. This website forces a range, instead of a real acceptable bid. These items will be used and imported into an existing max file that I created. What I will supply: reference photos only, no drawings or dimensions. What I need back: the native .max file, all linked textures, so I can import these items into another max file. 1-2 week turnaround is acceptable. <<< If the price and quality of the final model is good, this will lead to long term work >>> I do hundreds of projects per year. Since I have had issues with low quality work, I require a sample of your work. ((((( I require a 2020 max file that you have worked on, so I can render and test. )))...

    I have several high-detail firearm scans and reference photos that need to be transformed into clean, game-ready meshes. Your task is to rebuild each model in Maya, staying strictly under 15 K triangles while preserving every key contour from the references. The end result must be a quad-based low-poly mesh that drops straight into a real-time pipeline: clean edge flow, tight silhouette, and UVs that will bake without fuss. I will provide the scan data, orthographic images, and any call-outs for tricky areas; you return a model that matches those sources pixel-for-pixel. Please tell me about your experience retopologizing hard-surface weapons, especially projects where accuracy to photographic or scan reference was critical. Links to finished in-engine shots or wireframe renders are id...

    I have a story-driven video that needs to unfold in a bright, cartoonish 3D style—the same lively energy you see on the YouTube channel I linked. The finished piece will run a little longer than three minutes and must feel cohesive, cinematic, and fun from start to finish. Here’s what I already have on my side: the script, rough voice-over timing, and basic storyboard beats. What I need from you is full-scope 3D animation—modeling any new characters or props, rigging them for expressive movement, blocking and polishing every shot, lighting, effects, and final rendering. Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, or any comparable toolset is fine as long as you can match that playful, toon-shaded look. @hisytstory?si=psoexWCrGMUrMQOG Deliverables • A single rendered video file...

    I need several pieces of clothing modeled, UV-unwrapped, textured, and fully rigged so they import cleanly into Second Life. The meshes are strictly for in-game use, so please keep polygon counts reasonable, make sure weights sit correctly on the default SL avatar skeleton, and optimise materials so they render without taxing performance. You can work in Blender, Maya, or any package you prefer, as long as the final deliverables open without issues in the Second Life viewer. Deliverables • Clean, watertight mesh files (.dae preferred, .obj optional) • Proper UV layout with no stretching • Diffuse, normal, and, where useful, roughness / metallic maps • Rigging that deforms naturally on the standard SL avatar • One test import video or screenshots proving...

    I need a faithful, game-ready 3D recreation of the Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff badge for use as a prop in GTA V / FiveM. Every element—the six-point star outline, polished gold metal finish, blue ring of text, and the central bear emblem—has to read clearly in-game while keeping the overall file size lean. The finished asset must be delivered as a compiled .ytd that drops straight into a FiveM resource. Please include the matching normal, specular and metallic/roughness maps so the badge catches light realistically under the RAGE engine’s shaders. Supplying your native scene file (Blender, 3ds Max, Maya—whichever you prefer) alongside the baked textures is welcome, but not mandatory. I’ve set aside a flat $100 for the entire job, payable once the model...

    I need a short, realistic 3D animation that shows water moving through a distribution-pipe network from a clean, top-down perspective. The main emphasis is the behaviour of the water itself, so fluid simulation and refraction should feel true to life rather than stylised. Inside the transparent pipes an ultrasound pulse travels with the flow; as it passes, defects in the pipe wall and mineral scaling become visible. Flow speed must be colour-coded— red , orange , green then blue for the highest velocity—with smooth transitions so the audience can read the change instantly. The finished clip will slot into a technical presentation, so please render at least 1920 × 1080, 30 fps, and supply the full project file (Blender, Maya, Houdini, 3ds Max, etc.) so I can adjust c...

    I want to bring a lifelike company mascot to the screen and need a Google VEO 3 prompt and cinema specialist to make it happen. The character must look realistic, carry a professional, serious demeanor, and appear in a sharp business suit that aligns with our brand’s executive image. Here’s the flow I have in mind: you will craft optimized VEO 3 prompts that guide the model to produce high-fidelity visuals, then refine that output in your preferred cinema-grade pipeline—Blender, Unreal, or a comparable tool—to achieve polished, production-ready footage. Once the visual is locked, we’ll layer in basic lip-sync or facial animation so the mascot can “speak” scripted lines that I’ll supply. Acceptance criteria • Google VEO 3 prompt s...

    I’m expanding my 3D business and need an experienced Blender artist who can turn reference photos and basic dimensions into photorealistic, high-detail product models. Clean, subdivision-friendly topology, real-world scale and tidy UVs are essential because these assets will be used for close-up renders and short animation loops. You’ll receive a set of images, sketches or technical drawings for each product. In return I’d like: • The native .blend file with organised collections and properly named materials • Exported FBX or OBJ files for pipeline flexibility • 4K PBR texture maps (base-colour, roughness, metallic, normal) ready for Cycles/Eevee I review work in stages—block-in, mid-poly, final polish—so we can course-correct early and k...

    I’m building a horror game and need a single, realistic human character to inhabit the world. The look I’m after is everyday casual clothing—nothing exaggerated—yet detailed enough to feel unsettling under moody lighting. Because this is for a real-time project, efficiency matters: clean topology, sensible polycount, baked textures, and an export that drops straight into Unity or UE (FBX or OBJ preferred). My budget is tight—under $8—so I’m open to someone who already has a solid base mesh you can quickly adapt, or who is simply quick on their feet. What matters most is visual quality and that the model feels at home in a horror setting. Deliverables I need: • Fully textured, game-ready human 3D model in FBX/OBJ • 4K or 2K texture set...

    We’re on the hunt for someone who can take the wheel and actually drive our Amazon listings forward (not just sit in the passenger seat giving directions ).

We’re not looking to micromanage, so if you need constant instructions, this probably isn’t your vibe. If A+ content is needed, you create it. If listings look boring, you fix them.
