We are seeking a skilled 3D animator to create high-quality floating and unboxing animations for our packaging models, as outlined below.
Deliverables:

    Floating Animation for Packaging:
        Create a seamless floating/hovering animation for a 3D packaging model.
        Ensure the background is loop able, allowing for smooth horizontal scrolling (left/right) between different packaging designs within a mobile app.
        Apply the floating animation to three packaging designs, with a universal setup to simplify texture swapping for future updates.

    Unboxing Animation:
        Design a dynamic unboxing animation for the packaging.
        Include a smooth transition effect from the unboxing to reveal the item inside, adaptable for varying contents.
        Example Flow: The package opens → a transition effect occurs → the revealed item replaces the packaging.

    Source Files and Exported Animations:
        Provide animation source files in a compatible format.
        Deliver final animations in MP4 format (or as specified).
        Include clear instructions or a setup to allow easy future texture updates for the packaging.

Materials Provided:

    3D packaging model: Created in 3ds Max (you may work in your preferred software).
    PNG textures for the three designs.

Timeline:

    Urgent Completion:
        Floating animation and loop able background by Thursday.
        Unboxing animation to be delivered in a follow-up phase (details to be discussed).

Future Work (Separate Project):

    Animations for the revealed items inside the packaging.
    Reusable 3D model setup for simplified texture updates.

Requirements:

    Proven experience in 3D animation, particularly for packaging or product visualizations.
    Proficiency in 3D modeling software (3ds Max preferred but not mandatory).
    Strong understanding of creating loop able animations and reusable setups.
    Portfolio showcasing similar work.

How to Apply:

Please share:

    Your portfolio with relevant animation examples.
    Availability to complete the floating animation and loop able background by Thursday.
    Any relevant experience with packaging animations or similar projects.

We’re excited to see your creativity and look forward to collaborating!
