• Spine Animation

Hello,

Great to know about your requirement of 2d Spine Animator for your esteemed studio.

For introducing myself I have 12+ years professional Animation experience. I had worked in many "AAA" titled games viz. Disney Heros' Battle Mode (Perblue), Lost Land Adventure (Namco Bandai), Guilty Geard Xrd (Arc System), Zoo Country (Beachcooler Games), Avatar (Microsoft) etc.

Currently working as a freelance animator. I had worked with many Animation Studios' in Delhi, India. Our clients were mainly from USA, Japan etc. In my last association I worked on Disney Heroes' in battle mode for Disney.

I have been working in Spine for more than five years. I have rigged 300 plus characters and their animation. My animation workflow is 2d classical animation style.

You can look at my showreel of my spine animation cycles:

You can also look at my one more showreel:

I can also work on cutting/slicing the character plus high quality rig of based model to make it compatible for Sprite Animation. If you have fully rigged characters so it will be great to animate these characters.

I hope you will find my works suitable to your requirement.

So, looking forward to your positive response,

Best regards,

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for reaching out. Your work speaks for itself.

At the moment, someone else is starting the project, however I may need your help later.

I have two questions to ask you:
- Other than the animation, do you design characters? Or I should have a rigged character before hand. Also, to make 8 (actually 5) direction pose, do you need the character in many poses, or you only one is enough.

  • What is the price for your work?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply and appreciation!!!

Here are my answers to your queries:

  1. Yes, I can design character. If you already have character then you can send me psd I will do cut parts in different layers. then I will rig it.

If you already have rigged character then I will animate only.

2.I need one pose only to make 8 direction animation as I will replace images in each direction.

  1. My price is 15$ per hour for animation.
    240$ for character design ie Thumbnail, color options then final color process with 8
    direction turn around.

Hope this make sense.

Regards

Hi Rajesh,

I didn't fully understand the breakdown of the 240$, specifically (thumbnail and color option and process). Does it include character design from scratch? Since I am building MVP, I am fine with simple character design, but I want attractive animation.

I also feel like you are specialized in animation, do you know someone to design a character or we can just get a sample from the internet and work on it?

Since I also need other characters, let's try with something: The first girl on the right in https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-illustration-back-to-school-cute-kids-go-to-school-vector-set-diverse-different-nationalities-white-background-image96934126

Let's say it needs to be rigged and animated in 5 directions (up, up-right, right, lower-right, down), since the others are mirror of those 5. Plus blink animation. Cloths should be a "skin" so it can be changed later.

How much would it cost?

Another thing: if I want to have a character of a boy similar to the SpriteUnityGirl (https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/3.8/spine-unity/Assets/Spine%20Examples/Spine%20Skeletons/Spineunitygirl), how much would it cost to design it?

Thanks.

Hello,

The animation samples that I shared with you are my freelance works for clients. He provided me the character and I did rig and animations.

I have my friend who can design character for you. He will give a few thumbnails of a character that you want to get designed. After approval any one of them he will give a few color options (rough), after approval any one them he will finally polish the color and hand over to you.

The price for the first girl on the right in the image is as follows:
Character Design - $240
Cutting the image and Rig - 8 hours
Animation in Five direction - 20 hours
Total 28 hours*@15 $ per hour-420 $
Design plus Animation - 240+420 = 660 $

The option of the SpriteUnityGirl that you provide the link I can't see the image of the girl.

Hope that make sense.
