I want a lifelike 3D replica of my dog to put in the games I develop in Unreal (FBX required), fully rigged so the skeleton, IK/FK controls and facial blend-shapes make every move feel natural. The style must stay realistic, fur, muscle movement and proportions should match the photos and video references I’ll provide. Once the rig is done, I need a small animation library that I can drop straight into Unreal: • Walk cycle • Run cycle • Sit & idle sit • “Receiving a pet” reaction (lean-in, head tilt) • Tail wag loop • Roll over • Shake/paw offer Clean, game-ready topology, PBR textures and organized file naming are essential. Please send links to past work that shows realistic animal modelling, grooming and animation if possible Deliverables I expect: 1. Native scene file (Maya/Blender), FBX export, and texture sets (BaseColor, Normal, Roughness, AO, Metallic). 2. Animation clips separated, baked and labeled. 3. Ideally documentation on the control rig so I can retarget or tweak actions later. I’ll be available for quick feedback rounds at every milestone—block-out, sculpt, grooming, rig, and each animation pass—so we can keep revisions light and the final product polished. I don’t actually talk like a robot. This was auto generated mostly lol. I have a million more pictures if needed

Hello there, I am thrilled to work on creating a lifelike 3D replica of your dog for your Unreal games. With my expertise in 3D modelling, rigging, and animation, I will ensure that every move of the model feels natural and realistic. By incorporating fur, muscle movement, and proportions based on your provided references, the final model will truly capture the essence of your dog. For the animation library, I will include essential actions like walk cycle, run cycle, sit & idle sit, receiving a pet reaction, tail wag loop, roll over, and shake/paw offer. The animations will be game-ready and seamlessly integrated into Unreal Engine. To meet your requirements, I will deliver the native scene file (Maya/Blender), FBX export, texture sets, and a collection of labeled animation clips. Additionally, I will provide documentation on the control rig for your convenience in future modifications. I understand the importance of feedback and collaboration, and I am committed to incorporating quick feedback rounds at every milestone to ensure a polished final product. Best regards, STUDIO GO

Hi there, I will create a lifelike 3D dog model for Unreal with a full rig (IK/FK), facial blend-shapes, and precise control, guided by your photos and video references. The rig will support natural muscle movement and fur dynamics, with clean topology, game-ready textures, and organized file naming. Deliverables include native Maya/Blender scene, FBX export, texture sets (BaseColor, Normal, Roughness, AO, Metallic), and separately baked animation clips for walk, run, sit/idle, pet-reaction, tail wag, roll over, and shake/paw offer, plus an optional control-rig documentation for retargeting. I'll provide a well-structured asset package and be available for quick feedback at each milestone (block-out, sculpt, grooming, rig, animation passes) to keep revisions light and the final product polished. What are the exact Unreal version, target platform constraints, and any reference materials (photos/video) to base the rig and grooming on, and preferred FBX version and texture naming conventions?

Hi there, Thanks for sharing the pictures, they’re very helpful and I completely understand what you’re aiming for. I will create a high-quality, realistic dog model based directly on your references, paying close attention to anatomy, scale, muscle flow, and surface detail so the character feels alive rather than “gamey.” As you can see in my profile and portfolio, I already have experience with realistic character and creature modeling, grooming, rigging, and animation, and I’m very familiar with preparing assets specifically for Unreal Engine. I make sure FBX exports, scale, bone hierarchy, naming conventions, and baked animations all work smoothly inside Unreal without extra cleanup on your side. The model will have clean, game-ready topology and properly groomed fur, and it will be fully rigged with a production-ready skeleton You’ll receive the native scene file in Maya or Blender, the Unreal-ready FBX, complete texture sets, and clear documentation on how the control rig works so you can retarget or tweak animations later if needed. I’m very comfortable working with milestone reviews, including block-out, sculpt, grooming, rigging, and animation passes, and I’m happy to take quick feedback at each stage to keep revisions light and the final result polished. If you have more photos or videos, that’s absolutely fine and will only help push the realism further. Thanks, Vikas

I specialize in creating realistic, game-ready animal characters for Unreal Engine, covering the full pipeline: sculpting from photo/video reference, grooming, clean topology, advanced rigging, and polished animation sets. I can build a lifelike 3D replica of your dog with accurate proportions, muscle flow, and fur behavior, then rig it with a production-friendly skeleton, IK/FK controls, and facial blend-shapes for expressive, natural motion. The asset will be optimized for real-time use, delivered with PBR texture sets, clean naming, and Unreal-compatible FBX exports. Each requested animation will be created as a separate, loop-safe clip, fully baked and ready to drop into your project. I’m very comfortable working iteratively with frequent feedback at each milestone to keep revisions light and quality high. Important questions for clarity: • Target Unreal version and skeleton preferences? • Fur approach: cards, grooms, or hybrid? • Any LOD or performance budget targets?

Greetings, I can create a fully realistic, game-ready 3D model of your dog that is perfectly rigged for Unreal Engine. Using your photos and videos as reference, I’ll sculpt accurate anatomy, fur, and proportions, set up a clean skeletal rig with IK/FK controls and facial blendshapes, and prepare PBR textures for BaseColor, Normal, Roughness, AO, and Metallic maps. Once rigged, I’ll produce a compact animation library including walk/run cycles, sit/idle, “receiving a pet” reactions, tail wag, roll over, and paw shake—all exported as baked FBX clips ready for Unreal import. Deliverables include the native scene (Maya/Blender), FBX exports, textures, separated animation clips, and concise documentation on rig controls for easy retargeting or tweaks.
