3D VFX Artist for Skincare Product Animations

About the project

I am looking for an experienced 3D generalist/VFX artist for an upcoming commercial project for a premium skincare brand. The project involves 3D product modeling, texturing, studio lighting, and dynamic physics simulations. Project Overview: We are creating a set of seamless web-optimized looping videos (5–8 seconds each) for 4 distinct cosmetic products. Scope of Work (Per Product): 3D Modeling & Texturing: Accurately model the product packaging (bottles/jars) and apply provided label artwork. Look-Dev: Set up high-end, photorealistic studio lighting and premium backgrounds for client approval prior to animation. Animation 1 (The Twirl): A seamless 5-to-8-second 360-degree rotation of the product. Animation 2 (The Dynamic FX): A 5-to-8-second simulation of the product itself. The 4 specific effects required are: Powder puff / dispersal Fine mist spray Powder-to-water activation Oil drop / flowing oil Required Deliverables (Per Animation): Aspect Ratios: 16:9 (Desktop) and 9:16 (Mobile) Uncompressed 4K Master (MP4/MOV) Compressed 1080p web-ready file (under 8MB, 30fps) 1 High-res static poster frame Raw 3D Source Files: Must be packaged and handed over upon project completion. Workflow & Pilot: We will be starting with a paid pilot for one complete product (modeling + twirl + FX) to establish the style and workflow. Once the pilot is approved by the client, we will immediately roll into production on the remaining three products. To Apply: If you are available, please reply with: Links to relevant portfolio pieces (specifically cosmetic product renders or fluid/particle simulations). Your software stack (e.g., Cinema 4D, Blender, Houdini, Redshift, Octane). Your flat-rate quote for the initial 1-product pilot. Your flat-rate quote for the complete 4-product package. The 4 products are basically the same product just different color each one solid color either black or white with minimal label text on each
