Zabaware Inc. creates artificial intelligence software, specifically chatterbot software for the consumer market. Our main product, Ultra Hal Assistant, can be used for entertainment purposes or as a personal assistant. Please see
www.zabaware.com for more information.
Ultra Hal Assistant uses a real-time animated 3D avatar to communicate with the user along with speech synthesis. Zabaware has been working on a project for about 1.5 years looking to replace its existing engine with an Ogre3d (
www.ogre3d.org) based engine. The engine itself is near completion, we hope for a public beta sometime in the next few months. However, we need more content (Characters and environments) created for the engine. The freelance artist we have been working with is unable to continue work at this time due to other commitments.
The artwork to be created will be used in our own Ultra Hal Assistant software as well as a large corporate client who wishes to use our character engine. A non disclosure agreement will need to be signed to do work for this client.
We need someone who can model low-poly characters, rig and animate that character, and texture it. Prior experience with Ogre (knowing the export process, being familiar with Ogre's material scripts) would be beneficial, but not a requirement as it can be learned.
More detailed requirements are available on request. Please send questions, resumes, and sample work to
recruitment@zabaware.com along with your prefered hourly rate.
