Character-Focused 3D Animation

About the project

I’m looking to commission a short 3D animation built around engaging, expressive characters. While I haven’t settled on a specific style or final runtime yet, the core requirement is that the piece showcases memorable character performance—appealing poses, clear emotions, and smooth motion. Here’s what I need: • Original 3D character design and rig (or adaptation of an existing rig you own the rights to) • Full animation sequence from rough blocking through polished, textured, and lit renders • Final video file in 1080p (or higher if practical) plus all working project files so I can archive and repurpose assets later I’m flexible on narrative direction, visual style, and toolset; Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, or any professional pipeline is fine as long as the end result looks great and can be revised easily if tweaks are needed. Please tell me: • Which software you prefer and why • A couple of links to past character-centric animations you’ve handled • An estimated timeframe for blocking, refine passes, and final render If you have questions about story ideas, duration, or technical specs, let’s talk and refine the brief together.
