Hello!

I'm an artist and I’m currently working on a projection installation and I’m looking for someone to help me create a 3D animation featuring bees with pixel wings.

Below are the details:

Project Overview: I need a short 3D animation of bees flying around, but with a unique twist: the wings of the bees should be made up of pixelated elements, contrasting with the otherwise realistic body. The animation will be projected onto a wall, and the bees will interact with the environment in a simple but engaging way.

Detailed Requirements:

1. 3D Bee Model Body: The bee's body should be modeled to look somewhat realistic. It doesn’t need to be hyper-detailed, but it should include basic features such as a segmented body, legs, antennae, and compound eyes. Wings: The wings should be pixelated to contrast with the realistic body. I imagine a blocky, 8-bit look to the wings, as if they were made from pixels. The wings will be the standout visual element of the bee. Style Reference: Realistic body with an emphasis on the pixel-style wings. I'm open to any creative input on how to make the wings visually engaging.

2. Animation Flight Animation: The bees should have a smooth, natural flying motion, with gentle hovering and changes in direction, imitating how real bees move. I’d like for the wings to flap in sync with their flight, though they should maintain their pixelated look throughout. Movement Variation: Since this will be a looped animation, the flight paths should vary slightly, adding a random or semi-random element to avoid repetition.

3. Interaction with Environment The bees will appear to be flying around growing flowers (which will be animated separately), but for now, the animation should focus on the bees flying on a white background. In this simplified version, no interaction with the flowers is needed for now, but the animation should have the potential to be expanded later.

4. Technical Details Duration: 10–15 seconds, loopable. Resolution: 4K (3840x2160), as the final output will be projected. Background: White background. Format: Please deliver the final render in MP4 or MOV format. Files: I would also like to have access to the original project files (e.g., Maya, Blender) for potential future adjustments.
Timeline: Ideally, I would like to receive a first draft within the next 2-3 weeks and the final version shortly after that, based on feedback and revisions.

Budget: Please provide me with a quote for the entire project, including any possible revisions.

Next Steps: Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions regarding the design, and feel free to share your ideas on how to make this project even better. I’m excited to hear your thoughts!

Looking forward to working with you!
