Posted 2 months ago

Summary

Project Overview: Looking for a talented 3D Technical Animator to handle a specific package of player, weapon, and zombie combat animations for an independent first-person shooter zombie survival game. The project is built in Unity 2022.3 using standard Humanoid rigs. To protect our project’s codebase, this contract is strictly for 3D animation motion data files (.fbx) only. No C# coding, scripting, or engine setup is required or allowed. You will be provided with a lightweight, clean Unity Animation Sandbox project containing only the raw visual assets and a basic ground reference plane. Scope of Deliverables: FPS Arm & Weapon Animations (Pistol, Rifle, & Pump-Action Shotgun): Synchronized weapon and arm clips for Equips, Unequips, Custom Reloads (must animate moving magazines, arms, and the shotgun pump handle seamlessly), and crisp, impactful weapon Recoil passes. Tactical Melee: Heavy, snappy Knife slashing and swing motions. Player Movement Handling: Polishing and fixing arm/hand posture for walking and running loops while holding a pistol versus two-handed weapon grips. Zombie AI Combat: Smooth AI locomotion loops and a set of 4-way directional pain/flinch stagger animations. Requirements: Proven experience animating realistic, tactical firearm handling (think heavy weight, snappy movements, Call of Duty or Ready or Not style). Flawless hand-keyframed finger placement to fix generic asset stretching and ensure tight weapon grips. Ability to deliver clean, synchronized .fbx files that map perfectly back to our rigs. This is a fixed-price contract for the entire asset bundle. Please share a portfolio showcasing game-ready weapon mechanics or gameplay combat loops.
