With a variety of internal tools at your disposal, you can focus on achieving quality and consistency without having to build everything from the ground up time after time.

  • Study concept art and research your own references.
  • Rig and skin characters and objects while staying organized (keeping your scenes clean, following naming conventions, etc.).
  • Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints with the help of technical directors.
  • Partner with character modellers to troubleshoot models when need be.
  • Work closely with animators to make models move believably and overcome any motion-related limitations.
  • Iterate to improve your work based on feedback from interdependent teams.

QUALIFICATIONS

What you bring

  • A minimum of 4-5 years experience in video game rigging, modelling and/or animation or other relevant experience.
  • Knowledge of 3D software (3DS Max, Maya, and MotionBuilder) + familiarity with scripting.
  • Solid understanding of anatomy and cloth.
  • Excellent observation, problem-solving, organization, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • A highly collaborative, creative, and innovative spirit.
  • Flexibility and resourcefulness.
  • Motivation to reach out for feedback and adapt to it.
  • Knowledge of game engines (e.g. Unity or Unreal), a plus.
