Cartoon Character 3D Animation

I’m looking for a talented 3D animator to bring my existing cartoon-style characters to life. All base models are ready and rigged, so the focus is squarely on expressive, engaging character animation. My priority is smooth, playful motion that fits a light-hearted, cartoonish tone—think exaggerated poses, clear silhouettes, and timing that sells the gag. You’re free to work in your preferred pipeline (Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, etc.) as long as the final delivery comes back to me in FBX or Alembic with accompanying rendered clips (1080p, 24 fps, PNG or ProRes). I’ll provide: • Rigged character files and reference boards for style, personality, and pacing • Storyboards and a rough animatic to guide timing You’ll handle: • Blocking, spline, and polish passes • Facial and secondary animation for added appeal • Basic scene lighting sufficient for playblasts/render previews Final review is complete once the animation hits the beats in the animatic, lip-sync (where marked) aligns with the audio, and the spline pass is free of pops or penetration. If this sounds like your wheelhouse, share a reel that shows your best cartoon character work and let’s get started.
