Add these to your message: Mandatory Requirements: Send samples of your previous work — including 3D animation stills and animation in motion. A plus if you’ve worked with larger brands or interactive visual systems. Indicate the minimum number of hours you’ll need to create the first visual draft based on provided creative direction. The draft will focus on: Demonstrating lighting, motion fluidity, and realism of glow behavior. Showing emotion-driven animation or subtle transformation mechanics (loop or transition). Creating a single object or sequence that conveys tone, material, and dynamic response. (Detailed design brief and emotional behavior system will be shared only after shortlist / NDA.) ----------------------------------------------------- Requirements — 3D Artist / Visual Designer Strong proficiency in Blender, Maya, or Cinema 4D. Expert understanding of lighting, reflection, emissive materials, and soft glow behavior. Ability to create loop-based motion systems (idle, transition, emotion-based). Experience exporting to GLB / FBX for Three.js / WebGL rendering. Knowledge of PBR materials, vertex animation, and shader-based glow effects. Proven experience in non-cartoon, emotion-driven animation — subtle, conscious, natural. High-level skill in camera dynamics, levitation physics, and smooth transitional lighting. Must provide previous 3D renderings and motion samples (video or image) as proof of quality. Only highly advanced designers with a clean, cinematic aesthetic should apply. Developer Integration Skillset (for Alex / front-end dev alignment) For seamless integration of 3D visuals with live AI interactions, the developer must be able to: Embed and control 3D models via WebGL / Three.js or equivalent framework. Handle real-time shader and emissive color updates tied to input/output events. Implement Web Speech API / Whisper / TTS integration for voice-based behavior. Manage state transitions (idle, active, reflective, emotional) through JavaScript events. Synchronize voice amplitude → glow/animation intensity in real time. Optimize rendering for web performance (lazy load, compression, GPU acceleration). Build event hooks for emotion-based triggers (color, rotation, or blink). Integrate with AI API endpoints (Claude / GPT / Whisper) while maintaining smooth UX.
