We are currently working on "Roxy," an exciting mixed-media project where we are bringing a 2D style animated character into the real world. We are currently producing a teaser reel/short film to serve as a proof-of-concept. We plan to achieve this 2D animated style character using a 3D model and and motion capture technology. What We Will Provide: To ensure you have everything you need to accurately capture Roxy's personality and design, we will supply comprehensive 2D reference materials, including: - Rough sketches and conceptual drawings. - Final, polished 2D character designs and turnarounds. - Detailed expression sheets (crucial for guiding facial rigging and blendshapes). The Role: We are looking for a talented 3D Character Artist and Technical Animator to take our 2D character designs and build a fully functional, production-ready 3D character. You will be responsible for the entire pipeline of this character: from the initial 3D modelling, texturing, and finally, creating a robust rig tailored for motion capture data animation. Scope of Work: - 3D Modelling: Accurately translate our provided 2D drawings into a high-quality 3D model. - Texturing/Shading: Fully texture the character to match the intended art style. - Rigging for Mocap: Build a skeletal and facial rig optimized for motion capture data retargeting. - The rig must be clean, functional, and ideally compatible with standard mocap setups (e.g., Vicon). - Weight Painting: Ensure smooth, natural deformations during movement. Technical Requirements: - Software Compatibility: The final deliverable must be fully compatible with Autodesk Maya. - File Format: The final model and rig must be delivered as an .FBX file. - Clean Topology: The model must have clean, animation-friendly edge flow. Future Opportunities: The Future: Please note that while the budget for this initial teaser phase is modest, this short film will be used to pitch for series funding and commissions. If Roxy is greenlit for a series, this role has the strong potential to evolve into an ongoing, long-term position. We will need a dedicated 3D artist to model outfit variations for Roxy, as well as design and build out a full cast of other characters within the Roxy universe. What We Need From You: - A link to your portfolio/showreel demonstrating strong character modeling, texturing, and specifically, your rigging capabilities. - A brief estimate of your turnaround time based on this description.

Hello, I will focus on creating a high-quality 3D model of Roxy that truly reflects her 2D design. My plan is to meticulously translate your sketches and character designs into a vibrant 3D representation. I’ll pay close attention to the unique features and expressions that define Roxy. By starting with a solid model, we’ll ensure a seamless transition for the rigging and animation phases. This way, the character will maintain her charm and personality in the final product. In a similar project, I helped a client bring a 2D character to life, resulting in a fully animated piece that captured the essence of their original designs. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with the character resonating well with their audience. What’s the one result that would make you say this was worth it?

Hi there, Translating a 2D character into a mocap-ready 3D asset requires precise stylization control, clean topology, and a rig built to preserve expression while handling real performance data. We can model, texture, and rig your character in Maya with a mocap-friendly setup, clean deformation, and production-ready FBX delivery. To proceed accurately ✅ Can you share turnaround sheets and expression references? ✅ Target realism vs stylized fidelity for shading/render? ✅ Which mocap system/workflow will you use (Vicon, Rokoko, etc.)? Check portfolio: www.freelancer.com/u/rvwebfreelancing/charillga We will be happy to address any questions and ensure a smooth project process. Ready when you are. Buildtrix Studio

Hi, I see you are looking for a skilled 3D/animation specialist to help bring your “Roxy” project to life by combining a 2D-style character aesthetic with 3D modeling and motion capture for a teaser reel / proof-of-concept short film. I have 5+ years of experience in hybrid 2D/3D animation and character-based cinematic projects. To achieve better results, I would suggest building a toon-shaded 3D character pipeline with mocap-driven animation cleanup and 2D post-processing (line work + stylized rendering pass) so the final result truly feels like a living 2D character in a real-world environment. I am available to start right away and can deliver within 1 day for initial blocking and test animation direction. Let’s discuss the details. Important questions for clarity: Do you already have the 3D model of “Roxy,” or should it be created from scratch? What mocap system/data will be used (or will cleanup/retargeting be required)? What is the target duration and visual tone of the teaser (cinematic, stylized, or commercial-style)?

Hi! Let’s hop on chat ASAP. I’ll share my character/rigging work privately due to confidentiality I understand you need a production-ready 3D character that faithfully translates your 2D design while supporting clean mocap retargeting and expressive facial performance. I’ll deliver a Maya-compatible, clean-topology model with robust rigging, optimized weights, and style-accurate texturing. Will the mocap pipeline require real-time retargeting (e.g., live preview) or offline cleanup only? And do you prefer a stylized rig (cartoony squash/stretch) or a more grounded deformation setup? I’m ready to start right away! Talk soon, Anus
