3d Realistic Character Animation From Scratch

I’m producing a short piece that calls for high-end, realistic character animation and I’m starting with a blank slate—no models, no rigs, no textures. I’ll supply the script, voice tracks and creative direction; you’ll take it from concept drawings all the way through to polished, production-ready animation.

You’ll be building everything: modelling anatomically believable characters, creating detailed textures, setting up clean facial and body rigs, and animating a performance that feels natural and emotive. Whether you prefer Maya, Blender, 3ds Max or a similar pro-grade toolset, what matters most is the final on-screen realism and the ability to hand over organised, editable files.

Deliverables I need to sign off on:
• Concept art and turnarounds
• Fully rigged, UV-mapped characters with textures and shaders
• Final animation clips (2K or 4K, 24 fps) plus clean renders of any hero poses
• All project files (models, rigs, textures, scene files) clearly labelled

I’m happy to review work in stages—blocking, spline, polish—so we stay on track. If you have a portfolio piece that shows lifelike motion and nuanced acting, send it over; that’s exactly the quality I’m after.
