    Cartoony UI Revamp & Promo

    I have a fully-functional Unity mobile puzzle game that needs a visual facelift while leaving every line of gameplay code untouched. The goal is to give the entire experience a fresh, cartoony look built around soft pastel shades. Scope of the revamp • Re-skin menus and buttons so they feel lively and intuitive. • Redesign loading, win, and lose screens with playful animations that celebrate success (or soften defeat). • Tweak backgrounds, fonts, and colour palettes to keep everything consistent and on-brand. • Add subtle visual effects—particle bursts, pops, or glow—that make interactions feel rewarding. • Polish secondary screens such as Settings and Hint overlays for a coherent finish. Extra deliverable Once the new visuals are in place, cr...

    Trophy icon Sophisticated Portrait Retouching
    2 days left

    I have a high-resolution TIF portrait that needs a high-quality, subtle polish while preserving its original atmosphere. The face should remain realistic: I only want the gentle removal of sensor noise and a light softening of wrinkles so the skin looks healthy and freshly shaven—nothing that feels airbrushed. Please shift the currently black eye to a tasteful blue; it must blend organically with the existing lighting. The neck may be smoothed just a touch, and I’d like the suit hinted at—only a whisper more visible—without altering the global light or contrast. On the piano, a discreet, believable reflection of the hand would enhance the composition. Darken the keys ever so slightly to evoke candlelight, and recolor the small felt strips at their ends from ye...

    I need my existing logo turned into a punchy intro / outro sequence that can headline all of my marketing videos. The look should feel dynamic and polished, built with motion-graphics techniques rather than flat 2D slides. A subtle 3D depth is welcome as long as the overall style stays clean and on-brand. Scope of work • Design and animate a 5-10 second logo reveal suitable for both the start and end of promotional content. • Deliver the final piece in 1080p (and 4K if practical) H.264 MP4, plus a version with transparent background for flexible overlay use. • Provide the working project file (After Effects, Cinema 4D, or equivalent) so small tweaks can be made in-house later. • Include an audio sting or sound design that matches the animation’s energy (l...

    I am looking for a VFX artist to create a cinematic magical glow effect for a bottle in the provided footage. Footage:
 The bottle contains the spirit of a witch. After the character activates it, the bottle should begin to glow at approximately 00:05. The energy starts subtle and gradually builds in intensity. Build until the light becomes very intense and fills much of the screen. The glow then starts to fade. By around 00:27, the glow should have completely faded. The glow should feel like powerful magical energy coming from the bottle. Keep it cinematic and atmospheric, with the light building in intensity as the power grows. It should feel supernatural and believable within the scene. Please avoid AI since it effects frame to frame continuity in the timeline. ...

    I want to bring a full-scale, high-detail mining simulation to life in Roblox. The core loop is simple on paper—descend into randomly generated cave systems, mine valuable resources, haul them back to the surface, and invest the profits into bigger tools and base upgrades—but I need it executed with polish worthy of the front page. Gameplay pillars • Building/Construction: Players should be able to expand an above-ground hub, placing refineries, storage silos, and aesthetic props that visually reflect their progress. • Resource Management: Ore quality, backpack capacity, fuel for drills, and danger levels must all interlock so every descent feels like a meaningful risk-reward decision. • Cave Dangers & Pets: Caves grow increasingly hazardous the deeper y...

    I need one high-resolution, realistic lifestyle shot that sells the idea of the “2031 Regiment: Loot Supreme Cup.” Picture two good-looking guys and two equally stylish girls, all in classic white Bonds singlets, jeans and fresh white dressed good too They’re on a pristine, up-market suburban lawn beside a sparkling pool, modern house framing the background. The scene feels energetic and lively—laughter, confident body language, sun catching the bourbon and a cigarette the guys are holding while the girls toast with vodka. The finished image must look completely photo-real, suitable for large-format print on the front of my debt-collection agency, so lighting, skin texture, reflections on the drinks and fabric detail all have to hold up at full size.

    I have an environment scene that is already modeled, and I now need it pushed to final, cinematic-quality renders inside Houdini. Because this is a visual-effects task, I’m expecting the full pipeline treatment—look-dev, lighting, shading, and shot-ready output—so the assets integrate seamlessly with the rest of my VFX work.

I now need those elements removed and the plates delivered ready to drop straight into the final edit. Here’s the scope: pull a clean, spill-free key on every frame, erase all wires and rig shadows, restore any obscured background detail through clean-plate work or subtle digital paint, then composite the talent back over the background so the finished shot feels naturally lit and completely seamless. Turnaround is ASAP, so an efficient node-based or layer-based workflow in Nuke, After Effects, Fusion, or comparable software is essential.
