Thanks RiverRatt, AJrenius....
Coding-wise, you need to put 1 (sometimes 2) 3D characters on the screen, and enable them to play one of a number of preset animations, the animation in question being triggered dependent upon what action a user makes with a (bespoke) game controller (which will basically read as a standard games controller but with X, Y and Z). The second character will be controlled by a second similar games controller. An example would be - make the character sit down if the controller is moved down. Make it jump up if the controller is moved up. We do not require animation blending or 'direct' fast control over the character- basically the character has to be seen to react to the user's input, not be instantly controlled by it. No physics, no movement around an environment (for now at least). This is not a game, it is just an onscreen character. It basically just needs to do cute stuff when you use the controller. This is a tech demo/feasibility test for us.
That's why it's a pretty straightforward coding job.
The animation/modelling work is the bigger task - so ideally we are looking for someone who can model something based around some pictures we will send, but be used to working with models/anims to import into Blitz.
Ideally, we'd get one team to do both together. If you could email me harry.holmwood@... if you have any more questions as the other details are confidential at this stage so I can't post them on here.
Thanks again
Harry
