Senior Stylized 3D Character Artist - Lumi (Project Contract)

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Sensus AI - FZCO is seeking a senior stylized 3D character generalist or a specialist studio to create production-ready assets for Lumi, the feline companion in Tabimi.

This is a remote, project-based contract. The scope covers one character with one base outfit and its props: an editable master, production rig, and mobile-ready derivatives. The estimated production period is 12 weeks, subject to the agreed plan.

WHAT YOU WILL DELIVER

• An editable Blender master, high-poly sculpt source files, clean topology, UVs, PBR materials and textures, and editable grooming.

• Body, face, and tail rigging, controllers, weights, necessary shape keys, and test poses or short clips demonstrating deformation quality.

• Mobile-ready USDZ and GLB assets derived from the same master, with asset-side support for iPhone import and playback checks.

• Organized source files, export instructions, dependency and third-party asset disclosures, and clear version records.

SCOPE BOUNDARIES

This project includes rig-validation clips. A full production animation library, additional outfits, and video-sprite deliverables are outside the current scope. Our engineering team owns application code and integration; you support asset-side validation.

SKILLS WE NEED

• End-to-end production experience with stylized feline or other quadruped characters.

• Sculpting, retopology, UVs, materials, grooming, hair-card or equivalent runtime conversion, rigging, and mobile optimization.

• Strong character likeness and visual quality, including appealing eyes, fur, and fabric, with dependable face, body, and tail deformation.

• Blender production and delivery experience, PBR workflows, and USDZ/GLB export. ZBrush may be used as a supporting tool; Blender Python experience is a plus.
