[PAID] Looking for someone to help with a 3D model for an articulated figure.
Hello there! You may call me Prisca. I am looking for someone to help with a project. I'm wanting to make an articulated Dark Samus figure using printed 3D models and extra figma joints, and I need some help with the modelling part of things, as I have no skills in this field.
I'm going to split the things I want to do with this model into "aesthetic" and "engineering". I don't care if those terms are accurate so long as you understand what I'm talking about.
Aesthetic Alterations
Engineering Alterations
- I want to edit this model: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6o83po33yg904dr/Dark+Samus+MP2+Ultimate.zip/file?fbclid=IwAR2lyfyUGJnIN77XR-b6CDKGdUruZkBtaFjjJH2icx3GTsFhqRajvdd9VMA (hereafter referred to as "the model") aesthetically in a few ways. I need the fingers and toes to look more like they do on this model: https://www.models-resource.com/wii/supersmashbrosbrawl/model/3748/ . The differences are somewhat subtle, but they are there.
- I also would like a variant of the model that has counterpart boots to this model: https://www.models-resource.com/gamecube/metroidprime2echoes/model/1537/ . Basically the model needs boots, but ones that go along with her look, so sharper and more twisted/organic-looking.
- I need the model's shoulders to be edited so that the glowing, blue crystals on them aren't just shown with textures, but are actual separate pieces. I *need* them to be separate, because I am considering using rough gemstones in the appropriate size/color in the place of printed pieces. Same for any of the "orbs" on her legs and hand. They need to be able to be fitted on after printing.
- I need a lot more surface detail to be part of the model instead of the textures. For instance, you see how her torso and head have ridges in the textures? At least some of that detail needs to be added to the model, or rather, it needs to be more pronounced. Also, a lot of the veins need to be added into the model as separate pieces, though I'm not exactly sure how to get them to have the right appearance.
Engineering Alterations
- I need the head, shoulders, torso, hips, knees, ankles, and elbow to be altered to be able to receive joints like the figure shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OT0HA4VfEo . Check around the one minute mark, as well as from approximately 7:15 onward for looks at the kinds of joints we're dealing with.
- The visor and "torso eyes" are already separate parts, but I need
them to be able to be fit into place after printing/painting, because I want to
paint them separately and then glue them into place.
- Any place on the model where the textures look like they're glowing, I would ideally like to have space to add LEDs to, but not if it interferes with the articulation or structural stability of the figure.
- You can also check this page: https://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/10148/figma+Basic+Joint+Set+Black.html to see many of the joints I'm wanting to use.
- This blog post: https://suparrobo.com/2014/12/17/figma-samus-aran-ssb4-light-suit-custom/ , while showing the arguably inferior Other M version of the Samus figma, can also give a good idea of what sorts of joints need to be accommodated.
- I am also willing to disassemble my copy of the Prime 3 Samus figma: https://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/6390/figma+Samus+Aran+PRIME+3+ver.html if need be.
- I may also need some figma joints modeled so that I may print them, since the "figma Basic Joint Set" is no longer available to pre-order, and it was a GoodSmile Online Shop exclusive.
The more I write out, the more I realize that maybe it's better to start with a scratch made model, so if you're okay either heavily modifying the existing model or starting from scratch, I'd love to hear from you!
The source for "the model" can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eilxen4mgw888jq/Dark%20Samus%20CSProject.zip?dl=0 . It's part of a Smash Brothers mod.
P.S. I don't know what "industry rates" are because I have literally no experience in this field, so I may not even be able to afford this, but I'm hoping I can. Also, I apologize for my formatting. I'm not familiar with the formatting on this site yet.
