I’ve created an original children’s educational TV show and now need a skilled 3D cartoon animator to turn the scripts and artwork into lively, broadcast-ready episodes. The project is firmly rooted in 3D character animation, so your task will be to model, rig, and animate a small cast of cheerful characters who teach basic concepts—letters, numbers, and simple problem-solving—through short story segments and catchy musical interludes. You’ll receive finalized scripts, rough storyboards, and detailed character sheets. Using your preferred 3D pipeline—Maya, Blender, or a comparable tool—please bring these assets to life with expressive facial work, playful body movement, and kid-friendly timing. I’m aiming for bright Pixar-style colors, smooth cartoony motion, and clear visual storytelling that keeps preschoolers engaged without overwhelming them. Deliverables: • Fully animated 3D scenes for the pilot episode (approx. 20 min) in 1080p, ready for compositing • Source files with organized layers, clean rig controls, and non-destructive edits • Two short looping character poses for social-media teasers • Three revision pass after initial review Acceptance Criteria: • Animation must sync to supplied voice-over tracks without lip-sync drift • Final render free of clipping, unfinished textures, or lighting artifacts • Characters remain on-model throughout and convey intended emotions clearly If you have a portfolio that demonstrates polished 3D kid-oriented work, especially for educational content, I’d love to see it. Looking forward to collaborating and making learning fun for young viewers!

What stood out to me is that you're not just looking for animation, you're trying to keep young children engaged for an entire episode. ⭐️⭐️ Complete Portfolio Link ⭐️⭐️ https://www.freelancer.com/u/samang1?frm=samang1&sb=t In educational content, kids forgive simple visuals but they never forgive boring characters. The timing, facial expressions and personality are what keep them watching and learning. I've worked on children's animation, character animation and storytelling projects, and my focus is always making characters feel alive rather than simply moving from pose to pose. Before talking about production, I'd be curious to know how much of the modeling and character design is already completed. That will tell us the fastest and most cost-effective path to getting your pilot episode finished.
