Hello. Im very exiting of your project, its not so many of those "unique" that will work on me in future like a intresting part of my portfolio. I realy want to make this one for you.
About a job, im planing to make wing in Mudbox, this is an aplication for sculpting and basicly this is what you need and using it will boost work speed relatively to "classic" 3d-modeling aplication.
After compliting the most hardest part of the project i will send you wing for revision and prepare block of marble, texture, materials and scene for rendering in Arnold render that using in holywood porduction.
For animation i will use Maya Blend shape future, basicly its purpose is facial animation, but techincaly its exactly what you need.
The whole project will be Hi-Quality, unfortunately its not possible to make it urgency without losing in quality. Photorealistic wing, settuping blending and rendering animation is very time consuming. Also if you dont need rendered video it will be a bit faster.
I will send all source files and scene. Take a note that for making adjasments in scene you will need Maya, because im prety sure that 3d Max, Cinema 4D or enything else will not adequate recognize, in general future like blending space cannot be transported between aplications.
Also im asking permision to include your project to my portfolio in future. Only renders with watermark without source files.
Please feel free to ask anything you want.
I will be waiting for you response, cheers!
