How to find professional quality talent for custom 3d modeling and animation?

Hello,

I’m in the process of developing a game as a solo dev. I’m currently not in a position to hire full time or part time help yet, I can afford to pay for one off jobs and help when I need it though.

I will need quite a bit of help too if I want to complete the project in a reasonable timeframe. Specifically, with 3d modeling, rigging, and animating.

My question is where can I find high quality professional work like this? I know most of the best already have jobs in the industry, so what’s the best way to find these talented people that are available and do one off jobs for hire? Ideally English speaking so that we can effectively communicate ideas and needs.

Are the freelance websites really the best way? I have gotten some work done before, and at best it’s been acceptable quality, but not great. How / Where do you guys find available talent?

Try out the website called fiver, there are a ton of great freelancers there, buh it’s possible for you to rigg easily and in seconds for the epic skeleton using a plugin called AUTO RIG PRO I don’t know if other 3d softwares have such plugin but Blender does, I’m into animations but I’m not at a professional level, so just head on to fiver, you’re bound to find someone there
