About Custom 3D animation

Custom 3D animation is for anyone with a specific subject to bring to life who cannot find a ready-made box for it: a technical product to explain, a logo reveal, an existing mascot to animate or a short scene to tell from a storyboard. Companies, startups, marketing agencies, trainers and content creators use it for websites, trade shows, pitch decks, product launches, explainer videos and social media. This service is part of the Film, Animation & VFX category on hi-3d.

A freelance 3D animator starts from your model if you have one, as OBJ, FBX, STEP or a native file, or builds it from photos and sketches. They can take on the storyboard, modeling, materials, lighting, animation and rendering in Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya or 3ds Max, with engines such as Redshift, Cycles, Octane or Unreal Engine. You receive an MP4 or ProRes video in Full HD or 4K and, depending on the brief, a seamless loop, a vertical cut for social, a version with a transparent background or an image sequence. To scope the job well, specify length, intended use, tone and required formats, and share a few reference animations you like, even from unrelated fields.

On hi-3d, browse services from animators, compare portfolios, rates and turnaround, then invite the one whose style suits your idea. The storyboard or animatic is approved in the project conversation, followed by previews, revision rounds and delivery of the final render.

For a first project, a short piece of ten to thirty seconds is a good way to test the collaboration before a bigger production. If your need is clearly character work, simulations or compositing, check those subcategories as well, since their artists focus on one craft. Otherwise, explore the artists offering custom 3D animation.
