Need an experienced Live2D Cubism rigger for two characters (a human male bust and a cartoon owl) for a narrated long-form show. Rigs are driven offline by pre-computed parameter tracks plus Rhubarb lip-sync (visemes A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/X) for rendered output — NOT live VTube Studio face-tracking. Please confirm you can deliver for an offline rendered pipeline before bidding. Deliverables per character: runtime .moc3, .[login to view URL], texture atlas, .[login to view URL], idle .[login to view URL] loop, parameter list, and editable .cmo3 source. Plus 9 Rhubarb mouth visemes, 7 expressions (neutral, smile, concerned, puzzled, surprised, sad, emphatic), 7 head poses with proper 2D head-turn deformation, auto-blink, eye direction, and breath/idle physics. Commercial and perpetual usage rights. Character state: QUILL (human male) — head is pre-decomposed (~15 named PSD layers, hidden geometry inpainted); remaining work is separating the existing sweater/collar/shoulder art into rig-ready layers (match the look, not a redraw) plus the rig. ZIGGY (cartoon owl) — flat illustration, no PSD; full layer separation from scratch (beak, eyes, wings, body) with hidden-geometry inpainting, then the rig. Each bid must include: (1) confirmation of Cubism output for an offline rendered pipeline, (2) a fixed itemized quote per character, (3) timeline to a 50% WIP checkpoint and to final, (4) revision rounds included, and (5) a portfolio link showing a production-rendered rig with mouth visemes and a head turn. Full spec sheet and reference images provided on shortlist; Quill head PSD provided when moving forward.

Hi there, I have carefully read your project description and understand that you are looking for an experienced Live2D Cubism rigger to rig two characters, a human male bust named QUILL and a cartoon owl named ZIGGY, for a narrated long-form show. I can confirm that I am capable of delivering for an offline rendered pipeline as per your requirements. To approach your project, I will meticulously separate the existing art into rig-ready layers while ensuring the look remains consistent. For QUILL, I will focus on decomposing the head and separating the sweater/collar/shoulder art, matching the existing style. For ZIGGY, I will create full layer separation from scratch and develop the rig accordingly. My expertise in Live2D Cubism and experience in character rigging make me well-suited for this project. I have successfully completed similar projects in the past, showcasing my ability to deliver high-quality results. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= I would love to discuss your project further and provide any additional information you may require. Feel free to reach out so we can refine the details together. Cheers, Rabia

Hello! Let’s hop on chat ASAP. I’ll be happy to share my recent rigging and animation work privately due to confidentiality reasons. I understand the biggest challenge is building stable, production-ready rigs that stay flexible for animation without deformation issues or slowing down the workflow later. I can create clean, animator-friendly rigs with smooth controls, proper hierarchy setup, and efficient performance for an ongoing animated series pipeline. Will the rigs be created in Toon Boom, After Effects, Moho, or another pipeline, and do you need full facial controls/lip-sync setups for recurring characters? I’m ready to jump into onboarding and start right away. Talk soon, Anus.

Hello, I've reviewed your project and understand you're looking for a Live2D Cubism rigger to prepare two characters for an offline rendered production pipeline driven by precomputed parameter tracks and Rhubarb viseme data rather than live face tracking. I understand the deliverables extend beyond basic rigging and include complete Cubism project organization, viseme support, expression sets, head turn deformation, physics configuration, idle motion creation, and delivery of both runtime and editable source files. The distinction between QUILL, where the head is already partially prepared, and ZIGGY, which requires full layer separation and hidden geometry reconstruction before rigging, is also clear. Maintaining consistency across expressions, poses, and mouth shapes is especially important for long form narrated content where the characters will appear repeatedly throughout the series. You can review my work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/GridsmithLTD For the seven head poses, are you expecting discrete pose states only, or should the rig support smooth interpolation between poses to allow more natural offline animation curves during rendering? Regards, Atik

⚠️ If you're not happy, you don’t pay. ⚠️ I’ve worked on Live2D Cubism rigs built specifically for offline rendered pipelines, including pre-driven parameter animation systems and Rhubarb viseme integration for clean A–X mouth shapes. Your requirement for non-VTube, render-based output with full .moc3 and motion assets is clear. I handle full character setup from PSD layer preparation through to rigging, including deformation for head turns, expressions, physics, and clean parameter mapping for downstream animation control. I’m also comfortable structuring rigs for show production workflows where consistency across multiple characters matters. Happy to have a quick call to confirm specs and align on a production-ready pipeline before starting. Regards, Blaze Nicholas

I can refine and optimize your scanned human head models to ensure they print flawlessly on your Mimaki UV-curable inkjet system. With my background in architectural design, I am trained to balance strict technical precision with a high standard for artistic presentation. I regularly manage complex 3D workflows and precise tolerances using Rhino, Fusion 360, and SketchUp, which translates directly into systematic, accurate mesh repair. My approach for your project will focus on: Scan Cleanup: Healing non-manifold edges, filling holes, and removing scan artifacts to create perfectly watertight meshes. Detail & Texture Preservation: Sharpening facial features while preserving the UV mapping, which is critical since Mimaki printers excel at high-resolution, full-color outputs. Print Optimization: Checking wall thicknesses, resolving structural vulnerabilities, and formatting the final files specifically for your slicing software. I am highly detail-oriented and committed to delivering production-ready models. I would love to discuss the specific scale and texture requirements for your prints. Best regards, Rehan Ahmad
