ReachTech is building Jackson — an AI companion for families, named after a real three-legged dog who was loyal, loving, and genuinely happy to help.
We need a 3D character artist to bring Jackson to life as a real-time animated character capable of:
- Expressive facial animation (lip sync to speech)
- Warm, approachable presence
- Emotional range (happy, attentive, concerned, playful)
THE CHARACTER:
- Three-legged German Shepherd mix (we have extensive photo reference)
- Brindle coat with tan markings
- Compact build (Brittany Spaniel sized)
- Blue collar with yellow tag
- Amber eyes — kind, intelligent, attentive
DELIVERABLES:
- High-quality 3D model optimized for real-time rendering
- Facial rig with blend shapes for phoneme-based lip sync
- Basic body rig (head tilts, ear movement, tail wag, sitting, lying down)
- Unity or Unreal compatible
STYLE:
- Stylized realism — think Pixar/Disney warmth, not photorealistic
- Must feel huggable, trustworthy, emotionally present
- This character will be seen by families for years — quality matters
This is the first step toward an animated avatar, a physical stuffed companion, and eventually a robotic version. You'd be creating the foundational design for something intended to last generations.
We have photo and video reference of the real Jackson ready to share.
To apply, please send the following to justin@reachtech.ai :
1. PORTFOLIO LINK
Share 3-5 examples of character work, especially:
- Animals or creatures
- Stylized/Pixar-influenced design
- Real-time game-ready models
- Facial rigs or lip-sync work (if applicable)
2. BRIEF INTRO
A few sentences about yourself and why this project interests you. We're building something meant to last generations — we want collaborators who connect with that.
3. ROUGH ESTIMATE
Ballpark budget and timeline for:
- 3D model (game-ready, stylized realism)
- Facial rig with blend shapes for lip sync
- Basic body rig (head, ears, tail, sitting/lying poses)
- Unity or Unreal compatible
Subject line: "Jackson Character Artist — [Your Name]"
We'll reply within 48 hours. Serious inquiries will receive photo and video reference of the real Jackson.
This is a paid project with potential for ongoing collaboration as Jackson expands into physical products and animation.
