We are looking to commission a 3D modeling expert with a specific proficiency with cartoon-style/low-poly animal models. If this commission goes well, there is a potential for consistent additional commissions over a long period of time.
We are looking for someone with considerable experience with 3D modeling. These models should be “mesh” models; in other words, not designed using Roblox parts. This person should also have experience with creating game-efficient models, taking things such as memory optimization into consideration when creating models. We are looking for someone who works diligently and produces results within reasonably short periods of time; we have a large amount of content to create and need to see steady progress each working day.
What we’re looking for in models
- Models should follow a cohesive art style that matches the rest of the animals and the game as a whole.
- Models should each be unique; no slight modifications of one animal to create another.
- Models should be optimized for efficiency (texture memory, reducing polygons) as much as possible without significantly impacting final quality of the model.
- Models should be imported into Roblox as models for delivery.
- Models should be split into several “pieces” so as to allow us to animate their limbs and general movement.
- Models should be completely original works by yourself, consisting of no copyrighted works by any third party. When you are paid for your work, full ownership of the models will be transfered to us.
Here is an example of the artistic style that we’re looking for in these models. Obviously, the style will have to be adapted in order to conform to Roblox’s limitations.
What we’re looking for in an applicant
- The applicant should be someone who is able to produce multiple models per working day.
- The applicant should be someone who takes pride in their work and consistently produces unique and creative models.
- The applicant should be intuitive enough to receive a general idea and produce a material concept implementation of that idea with minimal direct guidance.
- The applicant should be willing to work professionally with other members of our team, specifically those working on animations, even after the delivery and payment of models, within reason.
- The applicant should be someone who communicates with us in a professional and regular manner; communication and being able to reach you are important.
- The applicant must be 18+ and willing to potentially sign a NDA contract in the future
What we’re looking for in our working relationship
- We will expect regular and consistent updates on progress. We won’t dictate your working schedule, but we do need to see regular and steady progress on batches of models. This allows us to ensure that the greater game is making progress towards completion and doesn’t get hung up on anything.
- Before you begin working with us, we will discuss your estimates as to how long each model should take to create. We will expect models to be delivered within this time frame or earlier.
- We will expect absolute discretion regarding the project and your work for the project until it is released. At a certain point, we may give you permission to publish your work for public view.
Payment
While this figure is subject to slightly vary for each commission, we will request batches of around 10* models at a time. When each batch is delivered, you will receive payment for each model included within that batch. So long as delivery is consistent, you will be provided with instructions for the next batch immediately thereafter.
Our current offer for each model is $25 with a total of 66 models already planned and financially provisioned for, making the total offer for the commission $1,650.00 USD. All payments will be made via PayPal.
* With one exception, being that the very first commission will consist of only a single model. This will help us to ensure that the applicant is capable of producing models compatible with our artistic vision for the game, within reasonable amounts of time.
