Colorful Hippo Blender Animations
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I have a fully-modeled, 3-D colorful hippo that now needs to come alive. The brief is centred around fantasy-style character work, so exaggeration, charm and personality are welcome.
Here’s what I need from you:
• A clean set of loopable walk and run cycles.
• A talking sequence synced to placeholder audio, with articulate lip-sync and expressive jaw movement.
• A library of facial expressions that covers the basics (happy, sad, surprised, angry) and blends smoothly for dialogue.
• Additional bespoke actions we’ll outline together once the core cycles feel right.
The rig is already in Blender; you’re free to refine weights or add corrective shapes if that helps hit more appealing poses. Please keep everything non-destructive, neatly organised and named, so I can drop the finished .blend straight into my project.
I’d like to see progress in short playblasts or viewport captures, then the final delivery will be:
• The updated .blend with all actions on an NLA track
• Exported FBX files for each clip
• A quick turntable video showing every animation in action
If you have previous fantasy-character or stylised animal work, feel free to link it so I can gauge style fit. Looking forward to giving this hippo a personality!
