The idea behind PuzzleTubes is to add an Augmented-Reality experience to the classic jigsaw puzzle.
Complete the puzzle, then view it with an AR app and watch it come alive with movement and sound.
I'm searching Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer, and Google for a 3D character designer and animator.
This video shows the current 2D jigsaw puzzle image Augmented-Reality experience.
I own this image, all elements are available as .AI vectors, and the artist is available if you need an element, or an angle, a reverse-side, not contained in the image.
All models MUST look exactly like the flat images or the effect will not work very well. These characters should 'come alive' 🐙
The deliverable must be your original work, for my commercial use, in both glTF and GLB formats.
Models and Animation
I'm flexible with the 3D animation especially if easier to create yet still delivers a great consumer experience.
An octopus with moving tentacles floating up towards the viewer, one eye winks.
The whale getting larger, spouting water, swimming around.
One of the small red fish that can be replicated into a school moving across the surface of the image.
A realistic schooling fish animation would be great but not critical.
Also, a single version that swims in a pattern towards, and away from the viewer.
Mouth chomping, while swimming, light glowing on the end of the antenna.
Maybe chasing a small fish that it's trying to catch and eat.
Propeller spinning, navigating around in 3D space.
Maybe the periscope rotating.
This can be a single rendered bubble duplicated and aligned on X, Y, and Z axis to create a bubbling ocean effect.
Interested?
Complete the form with a portfolio, link, your approach, a cost estimate (considering this is a side-project, so limited funds), and approximate delivery schedule. Hopefully this will be a long term relationship for all puzzles!
