Summary

# Create a Production-Ready 3D Plush Model from 2D Character Drawings We're looking for an experienced 3D artist to bring our plush character to life. The goal is **not** to create a game asset or animation model. Instead, we want a high-quality 3D model that accurately represents how the physical plush should look before manufacturing. The model will help us: * Visualize the plush from every angle. * Fine-tune proportions and dimensions. * Communicate more effectively with manufacturers. * Reduce revisions during the sampling process. ## What we'll provide * Character drawings and concept art. * The character has a simple, minimalist design with no clothing or complex accessories. * Existing plush references. * Feedback throughout the design process. ## Deliverables * High-quality 3D plush model. * Multiple rendered views (front, back, sides, perspective). * Editable source file (Blender preferred, but other formats are acceptable if compatible). * Help determine the ideal proportions and key dimensions for manufacturing (height, width, depth, etc.). * A few revision rounds to refine proportions. ## What we're looking for We're looking for someone who enjoys collaborating and thinking through design decisions—not just recreating drawings in 3D. Experience with any of the following is a big plus: * Plush toys * Vinyl figures * Collectibles * Product visualization * Physical product design If you've created 3D models that were later manufactured, we'd especially love to see them. Have you designed a 3D model for a physical product (plush, toy, figurine, collectible, etc.)? If yes, please describe the project and include examples. ## When applying Please include: * Examples of relevant work. * Whether you've worked on products intended for manufacturing. * Your estimated number of hours for this project. * Any questions you have after reading the description. If this project goes well, we'd love to continue working together on future plush and collectible designs.
