I need a short, cartoon-style 3D character animation. The look should stay playful and simple—think bright colours, exaggerated movements, and minimal surface detail rather than hyper-realism. Here’s what I already have in mind: • A rough storyboard outlining the sequence and key poses. • Reference images that capture the mood, proportions, and colour palette. I’d like you to handle the rest: modelling, rigging, animating, lighting, and rendering. You may use Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, or any software you’re comfortable with, as long as the final output is a 1080p video file (MP4) plus the original project files so I can make minor tweaks later. Please keep the workflow lean—simple rigs, efficient topology, and quick render settings that still look crisp. If you’ve done playful game cinematics, stylised ads, or mascot shorts, that’s exactly the vibe. When you respond, it helps to see one or two links to past cartoonish 3D character work and an outline of your typical turnaround time from rig to final render.
