We are looking for an experienced 3D artist/CGI animator to create a high-end, cinematic 3D product animation for a shoe brand. Reference video will be provided. Project Overview We need a 30-second, clean, premium 3D animation of a single shoe, matching the mood, flow, and style of the reference video provided. The shoe will be fully recreated in 3D, including: - realistic suede material - accurate stitching - correct sole texture - detailed shape modeling - proper lighting & shadows The animation must look smooth, modern, and visually premium, suitable for a commercial brand video. Animation Requirements : 1. Main Animation A single shoe (main color version) Centered on screen Clean cinematic animation similar to the reference Background color: will be provided Duration: ~30 seconds 2. Ending Scene A “fan layout” showing all the shoe color variants around the main shoe. All variants must share: - same shoe model - same texture quality - same sizing + proportions - Only the colors will change Even spacing + balanced final composition Note: The exact number of color variants will be confirmed during discussion. Deliverables : You must provide two versions:- a) Desktop Format: 15:9 aspect ratio 2K resolution 60 FPS MP4 (H.264) b) Mobile Format: 9:16 aspect ratio 2K resolution 60 FPS MP4 (H.264) Optional but preferred: Project/source files (Blender, C4D, Maya, etc.) Skills Required - Advanced 3D modeling - Photorealistic texturing (suede, leather, rubber soles) - Product rendering - Cinematic lighting - Smooth animation skills - Ability to match reference style precisely Software (any of these is fine): - Blender - Cinema 4D - Maya - 3ds Max - Unreal Engine No strict tool requirement — only quality matters. What We Will Provide - Reference animation - Photos of the shoe (multiple angles) - Color variant references - Brand logo Bid Instructions When applying, please include: - Similar 3D product animations you’ve created (especially shoes, fashion items, or consumer products). - Your estimated timeline. - Your price for the full project (we can clarify the number of variants in chat). - Your workflow (modeling → texturing → animation → rendering). We will quickly shortlist candidates who show strong product/CGI experience. We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented 3D artist who can deliver commercial-grade realism and smooth animation.
