I’m putting together a short, story-driven piece and need a lively cartoon-style 3D character animation to bring it to life. What I already have: • Script and rough storyboard outlining the scene and key emotions. • Reference images for the character’s look and personality. What I need from you: 1. A polished 3D model of the main character (single hero character), ready for animation. 2. Rigging with facial controls so subtle expressions and lip-sync feel natural. 3. A fully animated sequence (around 30–60 seconds) that follows my storyboard beats—anticipation, action, reaction, and payoff. 4. Basic lighting, texturing, and a simple background so the character sits convincingly in the scene. 5. Final render in 1080p along with project files (Maya, Blender, or Cinema 4D—whichever you prefer). Workflow I’m comfortable with: blocking pass → spline pass → polished pass, with check-ins at each stage so I can give notes. I’ll supply voice-over and music cues for timing. The style is definitely cartoonish—think exaggerated poses, snappy timing, and clear silhouettes rather than hyper-real motion. If you’re used to working in Toon Boom Harmony or 2D pipelines, that’s fine as long as the final result is 3D. Please send a link to one or two similar character pieces you’ve done so I can gauge fit. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right animator and look forward to collaborating on a fun, expressive sequence.
