Reusable Frog Rig + Complete Shared Animation Pack for Three.js Game — Fixed Budget $300

Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am making a cozy ecosystem simulator game in Three.js and need help improving a green tree frog asset so it can become a reusable master frog rig/animation system. Important: I already have the green tree frog 3D asset. It already has a basic rig. It also already has an idle/breathing animation. However, the current rig is basic and needs to be cleaned up, improved if needed, made game-ready, exported correctly, and tested. Budget: $300 fixed price Main animal: Green Tree Frog Goal: The green tree frog should become the master frog rig/animation system for my game. I want the same rig/animation pack to be reusable later across similar frog/toad species. The frog/toad species I plan to use are: 1. Green Tree Frog 2. Red-Eyed Tree Frog 3. White’s Tree Frog 4. Poison Dart Frog / Dart Frog 5. Tomato Frog 6. Pacman Frog 7. Fire-Bellied Toad 8. African Dwarf Frog Important note: I understand that the African Dwarf Frog is more aquatic and may need separate swimming animations later. For this job, the main focus is the reusable land/tree frog animation system. Existing asset: - I already have the green tree frog model - It already has a basic rig - It already has an idle/breathing animation - The rig may need cleanup or improvement - The animations need to be tested and made game-ready Required deliverables: - Clean up/improve the existing frog rig if needed - Proper skin weights with no detached body parts - Keep or improve the existing idle/breathing animation - Blender source file - GLB/GLTF export that works in Three.js - Clear bone names - Clearly named animation clips - Preview videos before final delivery - Test the same animation set on multiple frog/toad body shapes or provided frog models - The frog should not slide, float, deform badly, or have detached body parts Final animation clips needed: 1. Idle_Breathe_ThroatPulse - Existing idle/breathing animation can be used or improved - Subtle body breathing and throat movement - Frog should feel alive, not frozen 2. Idle_Blink - Natural blink or small eye movement 3. LookAround - Small head/eye movement - Curious idle behavior 4. Alert_Startled - Quick reaction when disturbed or tapped 5. Hop_Short - Small hop for close movement 6. Hop_Medium - Main movement hop - Natural push-off and believable landing 7. Hop_Long / Flee_Hop - Bigger jump for escaping or fast movement 8. Land_Soft - Soft landing motion after jumps - No sliding, floating, or stiff landing 9. Perch_Branch_Idle - Frog resting naturally on a branch/perch - Feet should not float 10. Climb_Branch - Frog climbing along branches or decor 11. Climb_Glass - Frog climbing on tank/vivarium glass 12. Tongue_Strike_Eat - Tongue strike or quick eating motion - Should work for catching insects 13. Sleep_Rest - Resting/sleeping pose for night or low activity 14. Sick_Weak - Weak/stressed posture for bad habitat conditions 15. Death_Faint - Faint/death animation for severe failed care state Testing requirement: Please show the same animation pack working on different frog/toad body types, such as: - Slim tree frog shape - Small dart frog shape - Larger White’s tree frog shape - Round tomato/Pacman-style body - Lower toad-style body The goal is not to create fully polished final models for every frog species right now. The goal is to prove that the master frog rig and animation pack can be reused across the frog family. Technical requirements: - Must work in a Three.js game - Export as GLB/GLTF - Include Blender source file - Animation clips must be separate and clearly named - No broken skin weights - No detached limbs/body parts - No floating feet - No sliding during hops - No strange deformation - Bone names should be clean and reusable Please apply only if you have creature/animal rigging experience. Human character animation examples are not enough. When applying, please answer: 1. Can you do this for $300 fixed price? 2. Can you work from my existing frog asset? 3. Can you improve a basic existing rig instead of starting from zero? 4. Can you export GLB/GLTF for Three.js? 5. Can you provide the Blender source file? 6. Can you show animal or creature rigging examples? 7. Can you test the same animations on multiple frog/toad body types? 8. How long would this take?
