Project Overview
I already have a complete 3D model of a wristwatch case (bezel, crown, crystal, strap) in Blender, as well as a rough internal watch mechanism that needs refinement.
The goal is to clean up and complete the internal mechanical parts, and then animate them for a short cinematic visualization intended for a 3D fan hologram display (LED POV hologram).
Scope of Work
Modeling
- Refine or rebuild the internal movement: balance wheel, escapement, gear train, rotor, bridges, screws, jewels, etc.
- Ensure accurate alignment, proper hierarchy, and clean topology for animation.
- Apply realistic materials (brushed metal, gold accents, sapphire glass) and fix any shading artifacts.
Animation
- Create a loopable animation showing:
- Realistic mechanical motion (gear rotation, escapement tick, rotor spin, balance oscillation).
- Optional exploded/assembly view to visualize the mechanism.
- Keep motion centered and clean for hologram playback (no edge clipping).
- Add smooth camera movement, cinematic angles, and subtle lighting.
Output
- Main deliverable: Loopable MP4 (H.264) with black background, 1080p or 4K resolution.
- Additional: PNG sequence (optional), still renders, and the final organized
.blendfile. - Hologram display compatibility: fan device (e.g. HD-F35) β animation must loop seamlessly and maintain high contrast.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Blender (modeling, materials, animation, constraints, drivers).
- Experience with mechanical or product visualization.
- Understanding of gear timing and motion realism is a plus.
- Familiarity with creating loopable animations for fan holograms or AR/POV content is highly valued.
Compensation
This is a paid project β budget and terms are flexible depending on your experience and quality of work.
Payment via PayPal, Revolut, or preferred platform.
How to Apply
Please send me:
- A short message about your background and relevant experience.
- Links to 2β3 examples of similar mechanical or product animations (Blender preferred).
- Your estimated timeline and cost for this project.
Thanks for reading β I look forward to collaborating with a skilled artist who can bring this mechanism to life in a holographic format.
