3D Educational Cartoon Animator

Job ID: 40518804

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I’ve created an original children’s educational TV show and now need a skilled 3D cartoon animator to turn the scripts and artwork into lively, broadcast-ready episodes. The project is firmly rooted in 3D character animation, so your task will be to model, rig, and animate a small cast of cheerful characters who teach basic concepts—letters, numbers, and simple problem-solving—through short story segments and catchy musical interludes.

You’ll receive finalized scripts, rough storyboards, and detailed character sheets. Using your preferred 3D pipeline—Maya, Blender, or a comparable tool—please bring these assets to life with expressive facial work, playful body movement, and kid-friendly timing. I’m aiming for bright Pixar-style colors, smooth cartoony motion, and clear visual storytelling that keeps preschoolers engaged without overwhelming them.

Deliverables:
• Fully animated 3D scenes for the pilot episode (approx. 20 min) in 1080p, ready for compositing
• Source files with organized layers, clean rig controls, and non-destructive edits
• Two short looping character poses for social-media teasers
• Three revision pass after initial review

Acceptance Criteria:
• Animation must sync to supplied voice-over tracks without lip-sync drift
• Final render free of clipping, unfinished textures, or lighting artifacts
• Characters remain on-model throughout and convey intended emotions clearly

If you have a portfolio that demonstrates polished 3D kid-oriented work, especially for educational content, I’d love to see it. Looking forward to collaborating and making learning fun for young viewers!
