Preparation of the model for animation and animation based on examples (Cinema 4D 2024, Octane Render)

We are looking for a performer for serial technical work in Cinema 4D R24 (preferably with experience working with Octane Render).

Project: ergonomic chairs, for each model it is necessary to prepare for animation and create a series of simple movements based on ready examples.

Submitting an application is important -- relevant examples, not links to profile or general portfolio.

What is already ready

• Models are provided in FBX format.

• UV unwraps are already done, re-mapping is not required.

• There are ready scene and animation examples to reproduce.

What needs to be done

1. Prepare the model for animation:

   
   

   • Proper object hierarchy.

   • Axis setup for animation.

   • Create HUD for control.

2. Apply shaders to the model (use ready shaders).

3. Create animations based on the example:

   
   

   • 8–10 short movements (5–10 seconds each) to demonstrate functionality.

Work format

• First stage — test animation to check the level.

• Then work in batches (2 animations per batch).

• Entire project: 4 models × ~8–10 animations = ~32–40 animations.

Payment

• Preparation of one model for animation: $60

• One animation based on the example: $10

Estimated budget (minimum 8 animations per model):

• 4 models × $60 = $240

• 32 animations × $10 = $320

  Total: ~\$560 (≈ 23,200 UAH at the NBU rate).

  
  

Payment is staged, via milestones: test → first batch → subsequent batches.

Requirements for the performer

• Experience with Cinema 4D (R24 or related versions).

• Ability to set up rig, cameras, and shading.

• Preferably: experience with Octane Render.

• Attention to detail, responsibility, ability to work based on references.

Application submission

Applications are accepted only as confirmation of readiness to work promptly.

Include 2–3 relevant examples of similar animations (links to specific works, not to a general portfolio).

Deadlines

• Model preparation: 1 day per model.

• Animations based on the example: 1–1.5 days for a batch of 8–10 animations.
