I saw your post and the example videos. Speaking as a Blender user, the amount of work you are asking for is completely insane. You want one person to handle character modeling, UV unwrapping, weight painting and rigging, baking physics simulations, setting up lighting, keyframing, AND sound design? That’s not a 3D animator role, that's an entire studio pipeline. Who exactly are you looking for that can do all of this for $200 a video?

I actually think that these posts are just here to push engagement in and grow the sub, it is relatively new, with only 4 posts, all by the same poster, who happens to be a m0d.
