3 USD per completed animation?.. Please raise this to at least $20. I’m sorry but $3 per completed animations for animals is beyond terrible… Animating animals is high up there on the advance side as it’s significantly more difficult to do than say a normal R15 Robloxian walking or even a R15 character doing a flip. Lets also think about this from the animators view, $3 per animation and say you have them animating 6 different animals for a total of $18… :neutral_face:

I’m aware it says 3-30 USD but even then 3 as the minimum is just terrible. Even meeting you half way at $15 is still a big lowball. In my opinion this should be $24 minimum, and upward depending on if it’s going beyond a walk/run cycle.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I’ve given off the wrong impression.

The compensation range is a base range, and is also negotiable as outlined in the post. Base rate is determined by your experience, complexity of the animation(s) and timeframe. Of course we won’t pay $3 for a walk cycle, but we may pay $5 for an idle pose. A walk cycle we need done in a very short timeframe will also be compensated more, as it’s more work for the animator.

We negotiate with each individual consultant and for each set of tasks.

We’ve updated the compensation to $20-$100 USD baseline. This is very negotiable and can also increase over time!

Still looking for great animators!
