2-Minute 3D Animation: Autonomous 2-Stage Snowblower Robot Project Description: I am looking for a talented 3D animator to create a 120-second (2-minute) concept animation for an autonomous snowblower project. You will be provided with a base model image and reference videos of a 2-stage snowblower. Your task is to "retrofit" this base model with robotic components and animate it in a professional product-presentation style. Key Requirements: Modeling/Retrofitting: Add components to the base snowblower: LiDAR, Camera, status lights, 2x rear-bottom drive motors, 2x 6-inch front swivel casters (behind the bucket), a 1-inch flexible squeegee blade on the bucket edge, and a rear-bottom salt spray system. Part 1 (0-60s): Feature Showcase. Close-up technical reveals of the rotating auger, 2-stage throwing system, motorized chute rotation, drive motors, front swivel wheels, and salt spray activation. Part 2 (60-120s): Operational Demo. Show the robot clearing a snow-covered sidewalk. Demonstrate autonomous behavior: detecting a person and a car with UI bounding boxes (HUD style), flashing a warning light, beeping, stopping to wait for the path to clear, and then resuming operation. Deliverables: High-quality MP4 video (1080p/60fps preferred) and the final robot model assembly exported as an STL file. Visual Style: Clean, industrial, and practical. Think "Product Launch" meets "Technical Prototype." The motion should feel mechanically heavy and realistic, not cartoonish. Reference animation will be provided to the selected freelancer. Required Skills & Keywords: To ensure the freelancer has the right technical background, I recommend listing these skills: 3D Animation: Core skill for the 120-second sequence and camera work. 3D Modelling (Hard Surface): For adding the industrial robotic components and modifying the snowblower body. Mechanical Rigging: Crucial for making the auger, chute, swivel wheels, and flexible squeegee behave correctly. Motion Graphics/VFX: For the UI overlays (detection boxes, HUD) and particle effects (snow discharge and salt mist). Product Visualization: Experience in "explainer" style videos for hardware or machinery. Software Proficiency: Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, or Cinema 4D. Knowledge of Unreal Engine for high-quality real-time rendering is also a plus. CAD/STL Export: Ability to ensure the final assembly is clean enough for a valid STL export.

Hi There! I can create a clean, industrial-style 2-minute 3D animation showcasing your autonomous snowblower, combining product visualization with technical storytelling. I’ll retrofit your base model with all required components and ensure realistic mechanical motion (auger, chute, drive system, casters, and salt spray). The animation will be split into a feature showcase with detailed close-ups and an operational demo with autonomous behavior, including HUD-style detection, alerts, and realistic snow/salt effects. Deliverables: • 120s 3D animation (1080p/60fps) • Final robot assembly (STL export) I work with Blender/Unreal for high-quality rendering and can ensure accurate rigging and polished presentation. Ready to start and share relevant product animation samples. Best regards, Nadarajan Kiruba

Hello! I am very interested in bringing your autonomous 2-stage snowblower concept to life. I specialize in industrial product visualization and hard-surface modeling, making me a perfect fit for this retrofit and animation project. I will start by meticulously adding the LiDAR, cameras, drive motors, and salt spray system to your base model. I understand the importance of mechanical realism, so I will ensure the 6-inch swivel casters and the 1-inch flexible squeegee are rigged correctly to interact with the sidewalk surface. For the first 60 seconds, I will focus on high-impact technical reveals. I will use cinematic camera movements to showcase the motorized chute and the internal 2-stage throwing system in action. For the operational demo, I will implement particle systems for realistic snow discharge and salt mist. The autonomous HUD overlays—detecting pedestrians and cars with UI bounding boxes—will be integrated using clean motion graphics to give it that professional Product Launch feel. I am proficient in 3ds max and Vray, ensuring a high-quality 1080p/60fps output. I will also provide a clean, manifold STL export of the final assembly as requested. I have worked on several machinery prototypes and understand how to make mechanical motion feel heavy and authentic rather than cartoonish.
