I need a short, realistic 3-D character animation that will act as the centrepiece of a commercial spot. The goal is to bring a human-like character to life with believable motion, facial nuance and polished rendering, then deliver a final clip ready for broadcast or social media promotion. Scope and expectations • Model, rig and animate one main character (or adapt an existing rig if that speeds things up). • Drive the performance with key-frame artistry or motion-capture cleanup—whichever produces the most natural result. • Light, shade and render in a production-ready engine or offline renderer that suits a photoreal finish (e.g., Unreal Engine, Blender Cycles, Maya + Arnold). • Composite subtle effects so the piece feels ready to drop straight into the final edit. Deliverables 1. Final video file in 1080 p (4 K preferred if your pipeline supports it). 2. Editable project files, textures, and baked caches so I can archive or tweak the spot later. 3. A version with alpha or over a clean background if the character will be comped over live-action. Acceptance criteria • Motion reads as natural when slowed to 50 %. • Skin, hair and clothing shaders hold up in close-ups. • Delivered assets open error-free in the software versions you used. Timeline is flexible for quality, but a first preview within two weeks would help us lock storyboards and voice-over pacing. I’m responsive to WIP notes and will supply any reference footage or style frames you need. Let’s produce a piece that feels cinematic yet perfectly suited for promotional use.
