? Freelancer - Advanced Rigging in Blender for Robotic Arm Simulation with IK Inversion

Job Description:
We are seeking a skilled Blender freelancer with expertise in rigging, inverse kinematics (IK), and robotic arm simulations. The task involves configuring an armature representing a 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic arm with joints along the Y and Z axes. The primary goal is to implement an inverted IK system where:

✅ The end effector remains fixed to a reference mesh in the virtual environment.
✅ The base of the robotic arm moves** to align with the end effector using absolute encoder data.
✅ The system maintains stable coordinates for the reference meshes while the physical robotic arm moves.

---

### **Scope of Work:**
? Create a **6-bone armature** with rotational joints along the Y and Z axes.
? Implement an **inverted IK constraint**, fixing the end effector while allowing the base to move.
? Adjust the **bone hierarchy and constraints** to accurately replicate real-world robotic movements.
? Ensure **coordinate integrity** of reference meshes during virtual and physical arm movements.
? *(Optional)* Develop a **Python script** for automating the setup and importing real-time encoder data.

---
### **Requirements:**
✅ Proven experience in **rigging complex systems in Blender** with advanced use of **IK/FK** techniques.
✅ Strong understanding of **bone hierarchies** and constraint configurations.
✅ Familiarity with **robotic arm kinematics** is a significant advantage.
✅ *(Preferred)* Experience with **Python scripting in Blender** for automation and data integration.
✅ Ability to deliver **clean, well-organized Blender files** within deadlines.

### **Deliverables:**
✅ A fully rigged **.blend file** with the inverted IK system implemented.
✅ Documentation on how to operate and adjust the rig.
✅ *(Optional)* A **Python automation script** for loading encoder data and updating the arm position in real-time.

? **Let’s build something incredible together!** ?
