3D Adobe Puppet Design for Real-Time Animation - Humorous Male Character

Title: 3D Adobe Puppet Design for Real-Time Animation - Humorous Male Character Description: We are seeking a talented and imaginative designer to create a 3D Adobe Puppet for real-time animation purposes. The chosen designer should possess a strong background in character design, rigging, and animation, with a proficient grasp of Adobe Character Animator. Project Overview: We require a 3D character design that will serve as an Adobe Puppet for real-time animation in Adobe Character Animator. The character should be crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring seamless and lifelike animations. The following specifications must be met: Human Character: The character should be designed as a male human, capturing distinctive human features and proportions. Humorous Appearance: The character's design should exude a humorous and comedic essence. Expressive facial features, playful gestures, and a quirky demeanor are desirable qualities. Anatomical Separation: The character's structure should be divided into distinct anatomical parts, such as the head, arms, legs, eyes, mouth, etc. Each part should be designed and configured individually to enable independent animation control. Layer Organization: The character's design must be meticulously organized into separate layers using software such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. This organizational approach will facilitate efficient animation and individual manipulation of parts. Articulation Labels: Proper labeling of each part is essential. Corresponding joint labels (e.g., "head," "left eye," "right arm," etc.) must be assigned to ensure Adobe Character Animator comprehends the intended behavior during animation. Consistent Naming Structure: A consistent naming convention for articulations is crucial to ensure accurate identification of joints and relationships. Rigging and Behaviors: Rigging is paramount. The character's parts should feature anchor points and pivot points to achieve lifelike movement. Additionally, predefined or custom behaviors like motion tracking, facial mapping, voice detection, etc., can be integrated to enhance realism. Facial Expressions and Lip Sync: Elaborate facial expressions and a precise lip-sync system are integral components for conveying emotions and achieving realistic speech animations. Controllers and Triggers: The character must be equipped with control mechanisms and triggers for real-time interaction. This could encompass hotkeys, mouse movements, or camera tracking. Calibration and Adjustment: Upon Puppet import into Adobe Character Animator, calibration is imperative to ensure responsive and precise animations. Adjustments to sensitivity settings, reaction speed, etc., might be necessary. Stylized Design: The 3D design should be artistically captivating and harmonize with the intended animation style. The character's appearance should be stylized, aligning with the realm of real-time animation. Optimization: The 3D design should be optimized to ensure optimal real-time performance. Layers laden with complexity and excessive details could potentially impede the animation process. Requirements: Proficiency in Adobe Character Animator and pertinent 3D design software. Portfolio showcasing past character design and animation work. Effective communication skills and an ability to comprehend project requirements. A flair for creativity and a keen eye for detail. Application: Should you possess the skillset and expertise to develop a captivating 3D Adobe Puppet that adheres to our outlined specifications, kindly submit your portfolio and a brief overview of your pertinent experience. We eagerly await the review of your work and further discourse on the project particulars. Timeline: We aim to have the character design finalized within [desired timeline]. We would appreciate insight into your projected turnaround time. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you require any clarification or have inquiries regarding the project requirements. Unique Design Requirement: The character design must be entirely original and not have been utilized by anyone else. We seek a fresh and distinctive creation for our project. Example Reference: As a preference, we will provide an example that you may use as a reference for the design. While we value creativity, please take into account that the final design should be unique and distinct.
