I’m developing a project that hinges on a polished, photo-real 3D animation and need a skilled generalist to bring it to life from start to finish. The final piece should look believable enough to blend seamlessly with live-action footage, so mastery of lighting, texturing, and physically-based rendering is essential. You’ll have creative freedom on software—whether you prefer Maya, Blender, 3ds Max, or another professional tool—but the end result must be delivered as a high-resolution video file along with all editable scene files so I can make tweaks later if needed. When you respond, focus on your direct experience producing realistic 3D animation. A concise breakdown of similar projects you’ve completed and the techniques you relied on (for example: HDRI lighting setups, motion-capture cleanup, or advanced compositing in After Effects/Nuke) will help me assess fit quickly. I don’t require lengthy proposals; solid examples and a brief explanation of how you’ll tackle this shot are what matter most. High chances of multiple projects in future if everything goes well.
