Blender File: https://assets.hotdog.photo/files/3d/Hotdog\_Wordmark\_Animated\_G.blend Demo Video: https://assets.hotdog.photo/files/3d/Hotdog\_Wordmark\_Animated\_G.mp4 tl;dr: I am trying to find someone who can animate the individual "g_bowl" and "g_stem" elements in the same way the existing letters have been dynamically extruded/animated (sorry for the bad terminology, I’m sure this is called something completely different) Context: Originally hired a blender artist to convert my logo into an animated 3D model (so that I can use for various videos, on the web ala three.js, etc) The original SVG logo I provided them with didn’t have separate paths for the different elements of the “g” (bowl/stem), but IMO he did a great job with animating the curve without having a dedicated reference. You can also see in the video that in his modeling/animating of the letter, the mesh is distorted and puckers around where the “bowl” of the letter meets the “tail”. Eventually (not right now), I would love to animate the bottom part of the “g” to resemble a dog wagging it’s tail, and to also customize the animation of the “g” letter in general, so I had the reached out to the original designer of the logo break the logo into individual elements, so that the “g” can be corrected. Unfortunately for me, the original blender artist hasn’t been responsive for the additional paid work since August, and now I’m trying to find someone with experience in both the method in which the logo curves were extruded/animated, and to finish the “g” animation using the separated g elements. In the demo video you can also see my very horrible attempt, which it looks like trash. I was also trying to experiment with depth so that facing the camera directly, it aligns with the reference logo but from a side perspective, the letters wouldn’t be so flat/would be offset either forward/backward. Budget: Originally paid the blender artist $80, open to whatever you feel is reasonable to tighten up the “g” animation. I’m thinking $50 based off of the original work already done would be fair, but I don’t like lowballing either and would prefer this done “right”. Contact: Write a comment down below before you DM me so that I can weed out spam/bots. In your DM, let me know a) where I can view some of your examples demonstrating similar work, b) your rate and turnaround time to finish this. I’d recommend checking out the linked blender file first to make sure this is in your wheelhouse prior to reaching out.   submitted by   /u/yerffejytnac [link]   [comments]
