I need Animators for a StarCraft 2 Mod Project

Job ID: 32667714

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

Hello there!

There is a very specific segment of work requiring a capable animator to perform. First, qualifications. The successful bidder must have familiarity with:

3DS Max 2016 (Newer versions will not work)
Should be familiar with 'Art Tools' which is a plugin produced by Blizzard Entertainment which is used for developing 3D models for StarCraft 2. StarCraft 2 is a real-time strategy game which is a top-down view of the in-game actors. This means that the models for this exercise are low poly.

If you are not familiar with Art Tools, the ability to ramp up quickly will be required. The latest version of publicly available art tools is from 2015, and again is only compatible with 3DS Max (also released in 2015)

The work being performed will be:

- Rigging 10 in-game building unit models
- Animating those same 10 in-game building unit models
- Animations will have the following cycles:

a) Idle: (What the buildings visually do while just sitting there and not being used for any purpose in-game)
b) Action: (When the player selects the building in-game to perform any action, the building animations will change. As an example, emissive textures might flash for awhile in periodic intervals)
c) Damage: (The building mesh will undergo changes in texture and appearance to reflect the building is slowly being destroyed, such as holes in the side)
d) Destruction: (The building exploding with some debris)
e) Construction: (The building being created in-game, which has a special sequence animation

What is complete presently?:

- Building meshes
- Building base textures
- Scope of animation (We know what and how we want it animated, just need someone to execute that)
- Base 3DS files with the above

Any bids that are generic in nature will unfortunately be ignored. Please provide specific acknowledgement to the items above as without those, it is impossible for you to complete this project.
