I need an experienced 3D character artist to create a real-time phoenix head-and-shoulders avatar for an existing webcam face-tracking app. I will supply reference images, an open-beak reference, a high-poly OBJ and a placeholder GLB. The final model must closely match my phoenix: dark feathered head, neck and shoulder mantle, glowing eyes, large hooked beak, flame-style crest and ember colours. It must not look like a dragon or generic eagle. Most important: separate lower beak with a correct hinge, fully modelled mouth interior, tongue, palate and throat. Milestones: Character blockout/open-beak design Final sculpt and mouth anatomy Real-time retopology/UVs, 40k–120k triangles PBR textures/emissive materials Skeleton and skin weights 52 ARKit/MediaPipe blendshapes Final GLB integration Required nodes: Root, NeckLower, Neck, Head, BeakLower, EyeLeft, EyeRight. Deliver editable .blend, final .glb, textures and test videos. Full commercial rights required.

Hello, Your phoenix avatar needs to read clearly as a unique fiery character, with the open-beak mechanics, mouth anatomy, and facial tracking setup all working cleanly in real time. I’ll build the model step by step in Blender: refine the blockout from your references, sculpt the detailed head/neck/shoulder forms, then create production-ready retopology, UVs, PBR and emissive textures, rigging, skin weights, and all 52 ARKit/MediaPipe blendshapes. I’ll also ensure the required nodes and lower-beak hinge behavior are properly integrated for webcam face-tracking use. Please have a look at our Freelancer portfolio through the links given below. https://www.freelancer.com/u/CreativeDesign50 I’ll deliver the editable .blend, final .glb, textures, and test videos. Best regards Kirandeep K.

Your project requires creating a production-ready real-time character avatar rather than only a 3D sculpt, so the focus is on accurate phoenix identity, facial deformation quality, and integration with webcam face-tracking systems. I can create the phoenix head and shoulders avatar with detailed sculpting, open beak anatomy, separate hinged lower beak, mouth interior, tongue, throat, real-time topology, UVs, PBR materials, emissive eye effects, rigging, skin weights, and ARKit/MediaPipe-compatible blendshapes. The final package can include the editable Blender source, GLB export, textures, required node structure, and integration test files. One quick question: do you already have the 52 ARKit/MediaPipe blendshape naming convention and face tracking export requirements defined, or should the blendshape setup be created according to standard ARKit compatible naming and deformation practices?

Hello, I carefully read your project description and understand exactly what you're looking for. This is not just a character model—it's a real-time avatar that must integrate seamlessly with an existing face-tracking pipeline. I understand the importance of accurate topology, correct rig hierarchy, optimized performance, and ARKit/MediaPipe compatibility. I can create a phoenix avatar that closely matches your references, including the dark feathered head, glowing eyes, hooked beak, flame-inspired crest, and ember color palette. Special attention will be given to the fully modeled mouth interior, tongue, palate, throat, and the correctly hinged lower beak, as this is a key requirement for natural facial animation. The final deliverables will include: * Optimized real-time mesh (40k–120k triangles) * Clean UVs and PBR textures with emissive materials * Skeleton with the required node hierarchy (Root, NeckLower, Neck, Head, BeakLower, EyeLeft, EyeRight) * 52 ARKit/MediaPipe blendshapes with correct naming * Fully tested **.glb** file * Editable **.blend** source file * Test videos and full commercial rights I value clear communication, deliver clean and organized work, and only bid on projects I am confident I can complete successfully. I'm ready to get started as soon as I receive your reference files. Best regards.

My expertise extends to creating detailed 3D models, crafting lifelike and realistic textures, and implementing complex animations. Another important aspect of this project is the separable lower beak with the correct hinge, fully modeller mouth interior, tongue, palate and throat. This level of detail requires not only masterful modeling but also anatomical understanding, something that I specialize in. This experience, coupled with my proficiency in using programs like 3Ds Max and Blender blend shapes positions me as the perfect candidate for your project. If you decide to entrust me with this significant responsibility, I'll make sure you get more than what you've bargained for - high-quality phoenix avatar that perfectly matches your vision and requirements while providing maximum usability for your webcam face-tracking app.

Hello, I reviewed your requirements, and the main challenge is creating a real-time phoenix avatar that faithfully matches your existing character while remaining optimized for facial tracking, ensuring the facial rig, mouth anatomy, and blendshapes deliver expressive, natural performance without compromising visual quality. The sculpt, retopology, UVs, PBR materials, skeletal rig, ARKit/MediaPipe blendshapes, and GLB integration should all be developed from a single, production-ready asset, maintaining accurate proportions and clean deformation for seamless use within your webcam face-tracking application. I have worked on similar real-time 3D character, rigging, and avatar projects and can share relevant examples once we connect in chat. Also a quick question, which face-tracking application or SDK will the avatar be integrated with so the rig and GLB export can be tailored to its specific compatibility requirements?

Hello, Getting a hinged lower beak to drive convincingly off ARKit blendshapes is really a rigging problem before it's a modeling one, since jaw open shapes were designed around human mandible rotation, and mapping that motion onto a beak hinge without it looking robotic means adjusting the pivot point and blend curves rather than just reusing the standard jawOpen weight painting. I have built real-time creature avatars with custom mouth rigs for face-tracking apps before, where the beak or jaw hinge behaviour under blendshape-driven animation mattered more than the sculpt detail itself. I work in Blender, sculpting the phoenix head and mouth interior including tongue, palate, and throat as a fully modelled cavity rather than a flat backdrop, then retopologize within your triangle budget and build UVs suited to PBR and emissive materials for the eyes and ember tones. I rig the required node hierarchy with a properly hinged BeakLower joint, map all 52 blendshapes with attention to how the beak hinge reads under jaw-driven expressions, and export the final GLB alongside the editable blend file and test footage. Message me and I can share relevant real-time character rigging work. Kind regards Andile

Hi, This sounds like a great project. I can create a high-quality, real-time phoenix avatar that stays true to your references, not a generic bird or dragon. I'll ensure the lower beak has a proper hinge, the mouth anatomy is fully modelled, and the avatar is optimised for smooth face tracking with ARKit/MediaPipe blendshapes. I also offer a free consultation to review your references and recommend the best workflow before we begin, ensuring the final GLB integrates seamlessly with your application. A few quick questions: Which face-tracking app or engine will the GLB be used with? Do you already have the ARKit blendshape list, or should I create it from scratch? Are there any performance limits besides the 40k–120k triangle budget? I can start immediately and provide regular progress updates throughout each milestone. Looking forward to bringing your phoenix to life!
