3D Character Artist & Animator – Realistic, Rigged, Facial Anim & Unity-Ready (.unitypackage)

I am looking for an experienced 3D Character Artist and Animator to create a highly detailed, realistic 3D character model. The final asset must be fully rigged (including facial rigging for lip-sync), animated, and packaged for seamless integration into a Unity project. What I Will Provide: - A clear reference image of the desired character design. - A base reference model to help guide the proportions and style. - A detailed list of the specific animations required. Scope of Work & Deliverables: - 3D Modeling & Texturing: Create a realistic, optimized 3D character model based on the provided references. - Body Rigging & Animation: Provide a high-quality rig suitable for smooth, realistic game animations. Create a custom set of animations (core set includes walking, sitting, and talking, with others to be discussed). - Facial Rigging & Blendshapes: The character must have complete facial rigging. This specifically needs to include eye animation (blinking) and a full set of blendshapes (morph targets/visemes) perfectly set up and ready for lip-sync integration. - Final Output: The final deliverable must be a clean, organized .unitypackage containing the model, materials, textures, rig, blendshapes, and animations, ready to be dropped straight into a Unity scene. Required Skills & Experience: - Proven experience in 3D character modeling and texturing (realistic style). - Strong body rigging and animation skills. - Expertise in facial rigging, specifically creating blendshapes/visemes for lip-sync and eye tracking/blinking in real-time engines. - Extensive experience with Unity (understanding of Unity materials, prefabs, the animation system, and skinned mesh renderers). - Ability to optimize topology and textures for real-time engine performance without sacrificing realistic details.
