3D Motion Designer Needed for Product Visualizations

We’re looking for a talented 3D Motion Designer / 3D Animator to create short, high-quality visualizations for our eCommerce brand. The goal is to create visually compelling 3D scenes that help customers instantly understand: * How our product works and interacts with the matter it is dealing with These animations will primarily be used inside our Facebook/Instagram ads, advertorials, VSLs and other marketing content. What we're looking for: We want short animations — typically around 3–8 seconds per scene — that visually explain a concept or mechanism. The exact scenes and concepts will change from project to project, and we'll provide briefs/references for the animations we need. The important thing is that you can take a concept and turn it into a clear, premium-looking 3D visualization that makes the mechanism easy to understand. Visual style We're looking for something similar to the type of 3D product/mechanism visualizations used in high-end commercials, skincare advertisements, supplement advertisements and scientific product demonstrations. Think: Macro shots → cross-sections → material damage → product interaction → visual restoration. The animations don't necessarily need to be scientifically perfect. Their main purpose is to communicate what's happening visually and make the product mechanism easy for a customer to understand. AI is welcome — if the quality is there We've experimented with AI-generated video ourselves, but so far we've struggled to achieve enough consistency and control. We're completely open to someone using AI, traditional 3D software, or a combination of both. We care about the final result, not the software used. If you have a workflow using tools such as Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Unreal Engine, After Effects, AI video tools, or a combination of them, we're interested. Deliverables Initially, we'd like to commission a small batch of short scenes. Each animation would generally be: * Approximately 3–8 seconds * Suitable for paid social advertising * High-resolution * Delivered as a clean final render * Ideally supplied in formats that our video editors can easily incorporate into different ads If the work is strong, we have a large amount of ongoing creative work available. Who we're looking for You'd be a strong fit if you: * Have experience creating premium 3D animations or product visualizations * Are particularly good at visualizing things that are difficult to film in real life * Understand macro / microscopic / cross-sectional visualization * Can turn a written concept into a compelling visual scene * Have strong lighting, texturing and animation skills * Can create realistic materials such as leather, wood, liquids, oils, fibres, etc. * Understand that these visuals are ultimately being created for marketing and advertising, not simply as art pieces To apply Please send us: 1. Examples of your most relevant 3D animation / product visualization work 2. Any examples involving materials, liquids, microscopic visuals, product mechanisms, skin, fibres, leather, wood, restoration or similar concepts 3. The software/workflow you normally use 4. Whether you use AI anywhere in your workflow 5. Your approximate pricing for short 3–8 second scenes Please don't send a generic portfolio. We're particularly interested in seeing work that demonstrates your ability to visually explain how something works beneath the surface. There is strong potential for ongoing work if we find the right person.
