Hyper-Realistic 3D Model Artist Needed for Web-Based Digital Support Agent Project Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled 3D artist to create a hyper-realistic digital character- Nina, who will serve as a compassionate support assistant for scam victims. The model must look believable, expressive, and suitable for real-time use on the web. Nina should combine advanced realism with empathetic facial and body language, ensuring users feel safe, supported, and understood. Scope of Work (Art & Animation Focus): 1. Concept & Visual Direction– Provide concept sketches, final 2D turnaround, and expression sheet. 2. Modeling & Texturing– Create a high-poly sculpt, retopo, bake, and deliver final web-ready mesh with PBR textures. 3. Rigging & Animation – Standard body rig plus FACS/ARKit-compatible facial blendshapes. Include small animation set (idle, nod, listen, smile, concern). 4. Voice & Lip-Sync Integration– Ensure auto lip-sync compatibility with neural TTS tools (e.g., Faceware, Audio2Face). Deliverables: Hyper-realistic, game-ready 3D model of Nina with PBR textures. Rigged body and face with ARKit/FACS blendshapes. Expression sheet + 2D turnaround. Small animation library (idle, nod, listen, smile, concern). Requirements: Proven experience creating hyper-realistic characters for games, film, or interactive applications. Expertise in modeling, sculpting, and texturing (ZBrush, Maya/Blender, Substance Painter, etc.). Strong rigging and facial blendshape experience (FACS/ARKit preferred). Familiarity with real-time rendering and optimization for web deployment. Portfolio demonstrating hyper-realistic character work (links required). Nice-to-Haves: Knowledge of lip-sync pipelines (Faceware, Audio2Face, etc.). Experience with conversational AI or digital humans. Prior work on emotionally expressive 3D assistants. What We Provide: References and moodboards. Clear project lifecycle and milestones. Goal: To create a polished, hyper-realistic, empathetic digital support agent that feels trustworthy, responsive, and human-like while running in a web environment. --- How to Apply: Please include: A brief introduction about your experience with hyper-realistic characters.
