What needs to be done
Create one CGI character (samurai) and prepare three scenes based on it:
- Hero scene — the samurai raises his hand with a neon "ticket" from bottom to top, ~5–7 sec (60–90 frames). Glare on red neon elements.
- "Structure" scene — the samurai nods his head up and down, head tilted to the shoulder, ~4–5 sec (60 frames).
- Static render — the samurai sits on a red leather sofa (for the CTA block).
What this is for
The animations and render will be used on the website/landing — hero block with scroll-scrub and CTA section. The character should look premium, in dark/neon style.
Submission formats
- Animations: PNG/WebP sequence with transparent background (for scroll-scrub) + WebM (VP9 alpha) + HEVC alpha (for Safari)
- Resolution: width 1200–1600 px. 60 fps is not required — the number of frames is important, not real-time smoothness
- Static: PNG with alpha, 2x for retina
- Project outputs (.blend / .c4d) are to be transferred to the client
Requirements for the performer
- Confident skill in character creation: modeling, texturing, simple rig (hand, head)
- Lighting and rendering: Blender (Cycles) or Cinema 4D + Redshift/Octane
- Ability to work with neon, emission, haze/fog
- Fabric/clothing: simulation or sculpting of folds (Marvelous Designer is a big plus)
- Portfolio should include photorealistic CGI characters or product renders in dark/neon style
Criteria for successful results
- The character looks photorealistic, without a "plastic" appearance
- Animations are smooth, without artifacts on the transparent background
- All file formats meet the specifications and open correctly
- Outputs are transferred and organized (not in one pile)
What to send in the response
- Portfolio with similar works (characters, neon/dark style)
- Assessment of timelines and costs
- Software you work with
