Photorealistic 3D Render + 12s MP4 Animation from STEP File

Project Description We are looking for a 3D rendering specialist to create a high-quality, photorealistic render of an industrial mechanical component from an existing STEP file. The project also includes the creation of a 12-second MP4 animation showing the part in motion (rotation or smooth dynamic movement). The objective is to transform the CAD model into a realistic marketing visual by applying accurate materials, textures, lighting, reflections, and shadows. Scope of Work - Importing and preparing the provided STEP file - Applying realistic materials based on references provided - Creating high-quality metal and industrial surface textures - Setting up realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows - Using a clean studio-style background - Delivering a premium and professional industrial look - Producing high-resolution final images suitable for website, presentations, and marketing materials - Creating a 12-second MP4 animation of the product in movement Deliverables - High-resolution photorealistic rendered images - 1 x MP4 video (12 seconds) with smooth product movement/rotation - Final source files if possible We can provide: - The STEP file - Photos or references showing the expected materials, finishes, and visual style Experience with one or more of the following is preferred: - Blender - KeyShot - Cinema 4D - 3ds Max - SolidWorks Visualize - Or similar 3D rendering software Please include in your proposal: - Examples of previous photorealistic industrial or mechanical renders - Examples of product animation/video work, if available - Estimated turnaround time - Your proposed budget
