3D Animal Model Animation Sync

Job ID: 38519964

Budget: $8 – $15 USD

I have a custom-rigged 3D animal model that needs to be animated in sync with provided voice files. The model is of a real animatronic and we will use the animation to program the animatronic; in other words, the rigging matches our robot and can't be changed. We have many cutscenes to make, one for each pre-recorded voice file. An example cutscene is attached. I'm exploring how much this would cost to outsource.

Key Requirements:
- Full-body Movements: The model should perform various full-body movements as per the script instructions (see attached script excerpt). For instance, Cappy "looks at the storm and points with its left pincer".

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in 3D animation software (e.g., Blender, Maya, 3ds Max).
- Previous experience with character animation.
- Ability to interpret and animate full-body movements from a script.
- Understanding of timing and pacing for voice synchronization.

The character has eyes and jaws that can move, but no other facial motions. We already have lip sync and the eyes will track the player. Therefore, the animator should focus on creating likely full-body movements, within the constraints of our model.
