Blender Facial Rigging for Rabbit Avatar — Animaze I’m looking for a Blender artist to complete facial rigging for my textured rabbit avatar, for use in Animaze. The model already has a basic rig with working head and ear movement. Experimental blinking exists, but the eyelids have visible seams and stretched fur that need repair. Work required: Repair the eyelids for smooth blinking and individual winks. Add eye movement suitable for face tracking. Create mouth movement and speaking shapes for lip sync. Add basic expressions: smile, frown, surprised and sleepy. Preserve Lilla’s appearance, textures, whiskers and ear fur. Prepare and test the finished avatar in Animaze. Model condition: The model has dense, triangulated geometry, with the eyes and face joined in one mesh. Local rebuilding or retopology around the eyes and mouth may be necessary. Please assess this before quoting. Deliverables: Editable Blender file with the completed facial rig. Short demonstration of blinks, eye movement, lip sync and expressions. Animaze-ready files, with setup instructions and compatibility testing. Please share relevant facial-rigging or animal-avatar examples and mention any Animaze experience. Include your estimated price, timeline and revision allowance. I would prefer to start with a paid milestone for repairing and testing the eyelids, then proceed with the remaining facial animation. Advanced muscle simulation is not required.

With nearly a decade of experience in the 3D world, I am excited to bring my expertise in Blender facial rigging for your textured rabbit avatar, optimized for Animaze. Having already worked on similar projects where existing rigs required fixing and improvements, I am confident in not only bringing your rabbit to life but doing so without compromising its original appearance and features. The repair work needed for the eyelids is a task I can handle adeptly. I understand how critical smooth blinking and individual winks are for an avatar's expressiveness and believability. My skills go beyond just fixing these issues; I ensure no visible seams or distorted fur, allowing for a seamless viewer experience. My proficiency extends to creating eye movement suitable for face tracking, as well as mouth movement and speaking shapes for lip sync. Additionally, adding basic facial expressions such as smile, frown, surprised, and sleepy will be executed thoroughly yet promptly. While I do not boast muscle simulations like mentioned, rest assured that my extensive understanding of the Animaze platform will guarantee compatibility and optimized footage that aligns with your needs.

Hi! I’m Farooq, a 3D artist with 4 years of Blender experience, with hands-on experience in character rigging, facial controls, and deformation setup. I can work with existing character rigs and build or improve facial systems using shape keys/blendshapes and rig controls for blinking, individual winks, eye movement, mouth shapes, and basic expressions. I’m also comfortable cleaning or adjusting facial topology where deformation causes seams, stretching, or unnatural movement. For your rabbit avatar, I can focus specifically on creating smooth facial deformation while preserving the existing textures, whiskers, fur, and overall appearance. I can also prepare the facial setup for real-time avatar use and test the required movements before delivery. I’d prefer to begin with the paid eyelid-repair milestone, verify the deformation and blinking first, and then continue with the complete facial rig.

Hey client. As an experienced 3D Artist, I bring a unique blend of skills that make me the perfect fit for this project. My proficiency in using Blender, combined with my interdisciplinary expertise in CAD design, Product Design, and Animation helps me to approach complex projects like Rabbit Avatar Facial Rigging from multiple angles. I've done intricate facial rigging before and I understand the importance of preserving Lilla’s appearance, textures, whiskers, and ear fur just as you do. Rest assured, your avatar will be in capable hands! Moreover, adapting to new software is something I excel at. Although I don't have specific Animaze experience mentioned in my recume and since Animaze is a novel platform which requires a lot of intuitiveness to adapt custom models to it successfully, my track record of successful and quick adaptation even into entirely new domains instills confidence in my adaptability and fast-learner nature.

Hi, A good facial rig for a rabbit avatar needs expressive controls while keeping the deformations clean and natural during animation. I can rig your existing rabbit character with facial controls for eye movement, blinking, brows, mouth shapes, jaw movement, cheek expressions, and other required facial actions. I’ll set up the rig so the expressions are easy to control and the face deforms smoothly without unwanted stretching or intersections. I can also test the main expressions and fix any deformation issues before delivery. Deliverables: • Complete facial rig for the rabbit avatar • Expression and mouth controls • Eye and blink controls • Clean facial deformations • Tested editable rig/project file Please share the character model and any reference for the required expressions, and I can review the setup and confirm the scope. Best regards, Vipin

Dear Client, I can repair Lilla’s eyelids for smooth blinking and individual winks, then build the eye tracking, mouth/lip-sync shapes, and requested expressions while preserving the existing textures, whiskers, and fur. I’ll first assess the dense triangulated face and determine whether local retopology is needed around the eyes and mouth. Starting with the paid eyelid repair and Animaze testing milestone is a good approach. After confirming the result, I can continue with the complete facial rig and provide the editable Blender file, Animaze-ready setup, demo, and instructions. Could you share the current Blender file and your Animaze version so I can assess the model and give you an accurate price

Hi there, I can start exactly the way you suggested, with a paid eyelid milestone first. I’ll inspect the dense triangulated face mesh, repair the eye area so blinking and winks look clean, and check whether local retopology is needed before touching the rest of the rig. After that I can add eye tracking, mouth shapes for lip sync, and the basic expressions while keeping the rabbit’s fur, whiskers, textures, and overall look unchanged. You can check my portfolio for Blender, character, and detailed 3D work. For the full job, I’d estimate around $180–250, depending on how much rebuilding the eye/mouth area needs, with roughly 5–7 days and 2 revision rounds. Question: Can you share the current .blend file so I can inspect the eyelid topology before giving you the final fixed price? Regards,

Hello, I reviewed your requirements, and the core challenge is repairing the joined facial geometry around the eyelids and mouth before building a reliable facial rig for Animaze. I would first assess the dense triangulated mesh and eyelid topology, then ensure smooth blinking, individual winks, eye tracking, lip sync, and expressions without affecting Lilla’s textures, whiskers, or fur. I have worked on similar Blender facial rigging and character avatar projects and can share relevant animal avatar examples once we connect in chat. Also a quick question, is the current eye tracking driven through shape keys, bones, or another existing facial setup? Best Regards, Muskan
