I have a finished narration-heavy script for a cinematic documentary and now need the on-screen human presence to match its tone. Your task is to build production-ready, realistic human characters—fully rigged, textured, and capable of nuanced performance—so I can drop them straight into the edit. Scope • Design and model lifelike human figures that fit the documentary’s setting and era. • Rig faces and bodies for subtle performance capture. • Enable three key emotional ranges: happy & excited, sad & emotional, and serious & determined. Close-ups must read authentically. • Supply clean animation or ready-to-animate control rigs; I’m comfortable driving additional motion later through Unreal Engine or Blender, so compatibility with those pipelines is essential. • Deliver final files in .FBX or .USD along with any texture maps, look-dev notes, and a short rendered turntable or demo clip showing each emotion. Acceptance A character passes when: 1. Mesh is production-clean (no non-manifold geometry, subdivision-safe). 2. Facial rig yields believable micro-expressions without mesh tearing. 3. Supplied demo clip clearly shows the three requested emotional states. I’ll provide the script, reference images, and any voice tracks you need as soon as we start. Let’s give these words a convincing human face.

Hi there, I specialise in realistic cinematic character creation and building production-ready human figures with nuanced facial rigs — believable micro-expressions across happy, sad, and serious emotional states, clean subdivision-safe topology, and full Unreal Engine and Blender pipeline compatibility — is exactly the kind of documentary character work I deliver at a high level. I provide FBX/USD files, texture maps, look-dev notes, and a demo turntable clearly showing all three emotional ranges before final handoff. Allow me to share my recent work over a chat!
