Realistic Environment Animation Effects

I’m polishing a game scene and need a specialist who can breathe life into the environment with realistic, high-quality animation. The work centres on three key areas:

• Weather effects – dynamic rain, subtle fog banks and convincing lightning that interact naturally with terrain and lighting.
• Vegetation movement – trees, shrubs and ground cover that sway believably under wind parameters without looking procedural or repetitive.
• Water bodies – rivers and small lakes that flow, ripple and react to in-game physics while matching the existing PBR material set.

Please build the animations so they can plug straight into Unity or Unreal (your choice) and deliver the final assets in a clean hierarchy with any necessary textures, FBX/ABC caches, and a short demo scene that shows everything playing in real time.

The results should be:

1. Loop-friendly and free of visible pops or seams.
2. Optimised for mid-range hardware (target 60 fps on a GTX 1060 or equivalent).
3. Clearly documented so another artist can tweak wind speed, precipitation rate or water turbulence without touching source files.

If you’re comfortable using tools such as Houdini, Blender, Maya or Niagara/VFX Graph—and have a reel that shows environment work of a similar calibre—I’d love to see it. Let me know your estimated turnaround time and anything you’d need from me before you start.
