Digital puppets for a teaching project

[PAID] Unreal Engine Artist / Technical Animator for Digital Puppets for a teaching project (Henson-Style, Real-Time Puppetry)

Overview

I plan on developing a teaching series and I would be in need of a digital puppet created entirely in Unreal Engine, (inspired by the YouTube show Gleeful Beasts which was also done in unreal engine), The goal is to achieve that felt-textured puppet aesthetic but animated in real time using Unreal Engine’s animation and control systems. I am hoping we can Implement felt/fabric materials look and warm, studio-style lighting to achieve a physical Henson-like look with cartoonish / puppet-like movement and expressions

This will be an independent, small-scale creative production, aimed at producing short, high-quality digital puppet clips or episodes with expressive, character-driven performance.


Budget & Collaboration

  • This is a paid freelance / short-term contract.

  • Budget is modest (indie scale), but fair for focused deliverables.

  • Open to ongoing collaboration if we click creatively.
