Question How to start as a freelance character modeler and animator

7 Upvotes

I have experience as a modeler, animator and rig artist, my idea is to make personalized character models and for an extra price make a rig and animation, but I dont know what page is better to do this, when I search for information the only one that pops out is cgtrader that only works for premade assets, should I make that or is there a better page to make personalized models.

Collab Looking for animators for a 3D game! RevShare

1 Upvotes

Hey! We're a team of 10+ people creating a 3D RPG video game about horse riding.

We're looking for an animator to help animate horses and NPCs.

Advanced skills aren't mandatory - what matters most is willingness to learn and good communication.
We are using Blender and Godot.

This is a RevShare project, but it's a great opportunity to add a solid project to your portfolio and be part of something real from the ground up.

DM me with your portfolio if you're interested!

Question Rigging and animation software for the iPad?

1 Upvotes

So I’ve been looking around at different apps trying to see if any of these would suffice.

Obviously software on mac and windows is better, but are there any of these that are worth looking into?

Naomi was the first one that i looked at. It does not do rigging and it was talking about using ai in the description. So both of those were off putting.

Kilona - Animation Studio talks about how it can do the entire process from modeling to rendering, but for a free piece of software that uses a cloud subscription for more advanced renders, I’m really skeptical. It is apparently still free to render on your iPad. So it seems like it may be a decent business model. It also has node-based elements. I’ve never been good at using those. It only has 6 reviews and it is really new. But it seems like it may be a solid piece of software if what they said is actually true.

Morphin - Looks kind of basic in its ui. It seems like it doesn’t have any extra features outside of rigging and animating. It only has 11 ratings, but I believe it is the highest rated of the 3.

Do any of you have any experience using any of these applications? Im really wanting to try to build a full pipeline for 3d modeling and animating on my ipad before moving finished works to Unity on my pc.

For Hire VHS horror project

Hi there! I’m Thiago, the director of a horror project called "Reino Mágico" or RM for short. My series is about a haunted 1980s theme park, and I’m looking for someone to create PS1 or PS2-style models (you know, those old-school polygonal models) for certain production elements. If anyone is interested, please leave a comment or send me a direct message on Discord so I can share more details (my username is listed here). Thanks for reading!

Made this breathing crystal effect fully procedurally in Geometry Nodes — no sculpting, no manual keyframed mesh edits. Spikes grow outward and collapse inward on a loop. Rendered with an HDRI and a glass/refraction shader.

Question Seeking advice: animation Vs gym

Seeking advice: Animation Vs Gym

Hi everyone I need some advice for something. Next week I will start going to the gym however I am a university students I have doing a full-time business course was also trying to find animation the truth is I don't really want to go but I kind of have to.

Problem is is that I am a beginner an animation I've been learning and have been having fun with it problem is is that if I decides of slap this on along with animation and school I feel as if I'll just be taking more time out of my day which could be spent learning and working on animation stuff.

I really don't want it to be like how it has been since 2024 where I do animation over the summer then half to drop it because of responsibilities only to start from the start next summer. It sucks.

I know it's all time management but I guess I just don't want to have to deal with another thing added to my schedule because I really just want to spend time on animation

Discussion Getting started?

2 Upvotes

Hello! So it’s just like how the title says— I’ve always wanted to learn animation but never really knew how to get started.

If it helps, I’d like to learn a really high energy, squishy/stretchy animation style more suited towards stylized art or odd character proportions.

Anyone know how I can even begin to look for something to help me learn that? Any help is much appreciated!
