Mid-Air Drone Net Capture Animation
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
We’re looking for a skilled 3D artist/simulation expert to create a dynamic **cloth simulation** showing a **drone deploying a net mid-air to capture an enemy drone**. The project requires expertise in **Houdini**, **Blender**, or similar tools for realistic physics-based animations.
**Key Requirements:**
1. **Scene Setup:**
- Two drones: A larger "attacker" drone (housing a rolled-up net as a compressed ball) and a smaller "enemy" drone flying mid-air.
- The net is initially stored as a tight ball inside the attacker drone and is propelled/shoot toward the target.
2. **Simulation Breakdown:**
- **Net Launch & Unfolding:** The net is fired from the attacker drone, transitioning from a compressed ball to a fully expanded net mid-flight.
- **Collision & Capture:** The net wraps around the enemy drone, simulating realistic cloth entanglement and drag physics.
- **Result:** The captured drone loses stability and falls toward the ground (basic rigid-body physics for the fall).
3. **Technical Needs:**
- High-quality cloth simulation with attention to folding/unfolding dynamics.
- Realistic interaction between the net, drones, and environmental factors (e.g., wind resistance).
- Clean topology and optimized meshes for animation.
- Final output: Rendered video (1080p or 4K) and raw simulation files for review.
