SolidWorks 3D model from ship blueprints (PDF) → laser-cut
Experience Level: Expert Estimated project duration: 3 - 4 weeks I need an experienced SolidWorks CAD designer to recreate an 86m inland vessel (scale 1:60) from scanned PDF shipyard drawings, including the hull lines plan. Goal: produce a laser-cut plywood model kit (tabs/slots) with a frame/bulkhead hull structure for accurate hull shape. Outer appearance should be realistic; internal structure should be strong. The model will become RC, so include space for battery/components (rough layout is enough). Required Output • SolidWorks Parts (.SLDPRT) for all components • SolidWorks Assemblies (.SLDASM) with logical sub-assemblies • 2D DXF exports (laser-cut ready) for all wooden parts • Part numbering for laser engraving (to prevent build mistakes) Critical Requirements • Hull frames match the lines plan accurately • Parametric thickness control: • Longitudinal spine thickness adjustable • All cross frames thickness adjustable via one parameter • All slots update automatically • Must be done in milestones with 3–4 review checkpoints for feedback SolidWorks for “professional use” or “for makers” is fine either way. Read-check (mandatory): How many years of SolidWorks experience do you have, and do you have experience with wooden kits OR ship drawings/lines plans? Create a super simple example (in Solid Works) based on the line plan in the attachment. Do this for 3 or 4 frames and then add the skin over them. Add the assembly and parts to your offer. If this is not done, I will not consider your proposal. A few drawings have been added as examples. The rest will be shared once the assignment has been finalized.

10 days ago16 proposalsRemoteCreative Audio Designer & Editor for Narrative Non-Fiction Essay
I am looking for a talented Sound Designer and Audio Editor to edit a high-quality audio version of a personal creative non-fiction essay titled "Dwelling." The piece (approx. 30 minutes) explores deep and sensitive themes. I have already recorded the English narration. I need a partner who can polish the vocal track and build an immersive, cinematic soundscape. This is not a standard corporate voiceover job. It is a piece of audio art. The soundscape should not just be "background music." It needs to be textured and atmospheric—using silence, ambient noise (e.g., distant London traffic, wind, subtle fire textures, museum ambience), and minimalism to support the narrator's voice, not overpower it. Key Responsibilities: Vocal Editing: Clean the raw English recording (remove breaths, mouth clicks, unwanted pauses) and ensure a consistent, warm, professional broadcast standard. Pacing & Rhythm: Adjust the timing of the narration to let the poignant moments breathe. You must have a strong grasp of narrative flow. Sound Design (The "Soundscape"): compose or curate sound effects and textures that match the imagery of the text. Mixing & Mastering: Deliver a final mix suitable for high-quality streaming/broadcast. Requirements: English Proficiency (Native/Bilingual Level): You must have excellent English listening skills to understand the subtle emotional inflections, irony, and gravity of the text. If you miss the nuance of a word, the sound design will be wrong. Creative Portfolio: You must provide examples of narrative work (audio drama, storytelling podcasts, radio documentaries, or artistic sound installations). Music production reels alone are not enough. Sensitivity: The subject matter is tragic and personal. The sound design must be respectful, never melodramatic or cheesy. To Apply: Please share 2-3 links to narrative audio projects you have designed. In your proposal, tell me briefly how you approach "silence" in a mix. Confirm your English proficiency level.

Playback must be seamless on large cinema screens. Quality Expectations: • Seamless integration with original footage from multiple camera angles. • Strict adherence to frame numbering for compatibility with master folders. • Preservation of original RGB values, frame speed (24fps), and cinemascope dimensions. • Final outputs must be professional, cinematic, and ready for big screen projection. The frame numbers on your final work must be the same as they appear on the original frames in our folders, otherwise we will not be able to mix your work in the sequence.
