Roblox R15 Character Artist + Animator/VFX Artist for Mobile Football Game

About the project

I am developing a **mobile-focused arcade football game on Roblox using R15 characters**. I am looking for a 3D artist who is experienced with **Roblox R15 characters, character assets, animation, and VFX**. The project will be milestone-based. Each milestone must be reviewed and approved before moving to the next one. If the work and collaboration go well, there will be **additional paid work** for more characters, cosmetics, animations, and visual effects. ## MILESTONE 1 — Custom R15 Character + Football Kit Create: 1. Custom R15 character body 2. Simple jersey 3. Shorts with knee-high socks 4. Football boots ### Character * Standard **R15 rig with exactly 15 visible body parts** * Rigid, not skinned * Must work correctly with standard Roblox R15 animations * Standard Roblox R15 joints and attachments * Include HairAttachment, FaceFrontAttachment, HatAttachment, and hand grip attachments * Flat foot soles * Face texture included * Minimal undershorts/base layer on the body * Approximately **4,000–6,000 triangles** * One 1024x1024 albedo atlas ### Garments Clothing must be **separate 3D mesh shells**, not classic Roblox Shirt/Pants textures. Garment mapping: * **Jersey:** UpperTorso, LeftUpperArm, RightUpperArm * **Shorts + Socks:** LowerTorso, LeftUpperLeg, RightUpperLeg, LeftLowerLeg, RightLowerLeg * **Boots:** LeftFoot, RightFoot Requirements: * Garment meshes must match the corresponding R15 limb position/origin * Approximately 2–5% offset from the body * No clipping, visible gaps, or z-fighting * Greyscale textures because colors will be changed at runtime * One material per mesh * One 512x512 texture per garment ### Jersey * Short sleeve * Simple/plain design * Jersey hem should slightly overlap the shorts * Max **1,200 triangles** ### Shorts + Socks * Mid-length shorts * Visible waistband * Knee-high socks included * No exposed leg between socks and boots * Max **1,000 triangles** ### Boots * Simple football boots * LeftFoot and RightFoot only * Must not extend more than **0.1 studs** outside the R15 foot bounding box * Flat sole * No unnecessary cleat geometry * No branding * Max **600 triangles** --- # MILESTONE 2 — 3 Football Animations + VFX This is an important part of the project. I need **3 custom R15 football animations**, each combined with appropriate **VFX**. I will provide the exact action, gameplay purpose, and references for each animation before work begins. The artist should be able to handle both: * **R15 character animation** * **VFX creation and integration** The animations should feel: * Fast and responsive * Stylized and arcade-like * Powerful and visually satisfying * Easy to read from normal gameplay camera distance * Suitable for mobile devices * Compatible with the custom R15 character VFX should enhance the animation without covering the character or making gameplay difficult to read. Examples could include effects such as: * Energy trails * Impact effects * Ball effects * Speed effects * Ground impacts * Short bursts/particles The exact VFX style will be discussed before each animation is created. Animations and VFX must be delivered in a format that can be properly implemented inside **Roblox Studio**. --- ## Art Direction The game is a **stylized arcade football game**, not a realistic football simulator. Assets and animations should feel: * Clean * Modern * Stylized * Recognizable during gameplay * Optimized for Roblox/mobile I am also open to the artist's creative ideas. If you think an animation, VFX, character shape, or design could work better for the game, I am happy to discuss it before production. Reference images are **style references only**, not designs to copy. --- ## Technical Requirements * Roblox R15 experience * Roblox Studio-ready assets * Mobile optimized * Clean topology * Proper UVs * Correct Roblox scale/orientation * Minimal clipping during normal R15 animations * Clean animation loops/transitions where applicable * VFX optimized for mobile performance * Editable source files included No normal maps or PBR maps are required. Use baked albedo textures only. --- ## Deliverables For 3D assets: * Blender source files (.blend preferred) * Roblox-ready FBX files * PNG textures * 512x512 transparent preview render for each asset For animations/VFX: * Editable animation/source files * Roblox-ready animation files/data * Editable VFX setup/assets * Any required textures or particle assets * Clear instructions/files required to import and test them in Roblox Studio --- ## Original Work Only All work must be original. Do not use: * Existing UGC assets * Real football club designs * Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc. branding * Copyrighted characters * Copyrighted designs I need full rights to use and modify the delivered assets in my Roblox game. --- ## When Applying Please send: 1. Examples of **Roblox animations and VFX** you have created. 2. Examples of Roblox character/3D assets. 3. Your experience with **R15**. 4. Whether you can handle both **animation and VFX**. 5. Whether you can help with the creative/design side instead of only copying references. 6. Estimated price for **Milestone 1**. 7. Estimated price for **Milestone 2 — 3 animations with VFX**. I am looking for someone who could potentially continue working with me long-term on additional **animations, VFX, characters, clothing, boots, hairstyles, and other football customization assets**.
