DAZ 3D Artist for Visual Novel Character Recreation & Production Pipeline (NSFW)

About the project

I am seeking an experienced DAZ 3D artist to recreate one of my main characters in DAZ Studio, preferably using Genesis 9, although Genesis 8.1 may be considered if the artist can provide a clear technical or workflow justification. The goal is to improve realism while maintaining the character's existing facial identity, proportions, and recognizable features. This is a recreation of an established character, not a redesign. Comfort with explicit adult content is essential. Key Deliverables: - A reusable DAZ character setup with improved skin, hair, materials, and overall realism. - One representative interior scene with production-ready lighting suitable for visual novel workflows. - Sample renders from various camera angles (close-ups and full-body shots). - Delivery of all working DAZ scene and character files, presets, and any custom-created files (morphs, materials, lighting rigs), along with a list of third-party assets used (with product links) for me to purchase licenses and reproduce the setup on my system. - Do not include third-party commercial asset files in the deliverables; these should only appear in the asset list with product links. Acceptance Criteria: - After purchasing the listed assets, I must be able to open the delivered scene in my own DAZ Studio installation and produce a new render from a previously unused camera angle with comparable visual quality and character appearance to the sample renders. - The character and lighting setup must remain practical and visually consistent across different poses, expressions, and camera angles within the delivered environment, without requiring extensive shot-specific relighting. Working Terms: This is a fixed-price project with milestone payments through Freelancer. Upon full payment, all rights to original custom-created deliverables produced specifically for this project will be transferred to me, excluding third-party assets and content subject to their respective licenses. No royalties or revenue share will apply. Additional Notes: I will provide a reference pack including multiple renders of the character (face close-ups, full body shots, different expressions and angles) plus notes on her defining features. Maintaining her existing identity is more important than simply making her more conventionally realistic. Applicant Requirements: Proposals must include: 1. A portfolio showcasing strong DAZ character work. Previous NSFW experience is required; private NSFW samples are acceptable. 2. An example of a project where editable source files were delivered for client use. 3. A brief explanation of how you would ensure the character remains recognizable based on my reference renders. 4. Please specify which parts of your proposed solution would be custom-created and which would rely on existing commercial DAZ assets. Proposals missing these items will not be considered.
