4D physics artists – License Existing Portfolio Clips for AI Research

SKILLS: Unreal, Houdini, Cinema4D, Maya
BUDGET: $1,000
LENGTH: 4 Weeks

We’re partnering with a major AI research team on a confidential project and are looking for experienced 3D Artists who have existing portfolio shots they fully own the IP to, that showcase 4D physics as close to reality as possible.

What We’re Looking For

• Existing 3D clips that mimic reality as closely as possible with a wide range of motion types:
  • You personally own and control (no studio/publisher/client‑owned work).
    • IP will still be retained by you; the samples will be used for research purposes alone.
  • Content must be live action
  • Contain no third‑party IP:
    • No copyrighted or trademarked characters, logos, or brands.
    • No close lookalikes of well‑known film/TV/game/commercial IP.
  • Required attributes:
    • Perfectly tracked underlying geometry and movement
    • 2D or 3D dense/sparse tracks following specific points through time.
    • Wide range of motion types (rigid, rigid jointed, non-rigid)
    • Includes range of elements (furniture, machinery, cloth/fluid/soft bodies)
• Especially relevant:
  • Character/superhero sequences
  • FX‑heavy shots (smoke, fire, particles, destruction, weather, etc.)
  • Complex compositing and CG/live‑action integration

How to Express Interest

Please share within your application:

1. Links to your best relevant 3D clips (final renders; breakdowns optional).
2. A brief description for each sample of:

• What each shot shows (identifying the 3D motion elements)
• Which tools you used

Payment

• Payment will only be made to the selected artists. If you are not selected, your submission will not be used. You will be paid per sample + source files.
• There is a strong possibility of additional paid work where we ask you to make slight variations of the samples, such as such as relighting, adapting camera angles etc
