Job Description

• Create highly realistic facial rigs based on a deep understanding of facial anatomy and characteristics across global ethnicities.
• Be responsible for the creation, modification, and optimization of facial rigs within the MetaHuman framework, with demonstrated end-to-end experience from rigging to facial capture implementation.
• Collaborate closely with Animation, Modeling, and Technical Art teams to ensure facial rigs meet both technical performance and high-quality cinematic standards.
• Research, test, and integrate the latest facial capture technologies, optimizing the quality of data cleaning, mapping, and final animation output.
• Continuously follow industry trends in facial capture technology and rigging tools, with the ability to translate them into practical project applications.

Job Requirements

1. Artistic Sensibility: A profound knowledge of facial anatomy and characteristics across different ethnicities (human/realistic), with the ability to translate this understanding into superior realistic facial rigs.

2. Professional Expertise:

• Proficiency in MetaHuman facial rigging related knowledge, tools, and workflows.
• Hands-on experience with the entire pipeline from rigging design to facial capture solutions.
• Have shipped at least one realistic game (PC/console platforms) with high-quality character cutscene animations.

3. Technical Knowledge:

• Familiarity with industry-standard facial capture software/hardware (e.g., Dynamixyz, Faceware, DI4D).
• Solid understanding of the principles of matching facial animation data to rig-driven movements.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to optimize rigs and the capture pipeline to enhance the final visual quality.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Continuous interest in and research on current and emerging industry trends in facial technologies, along with sensitivity to new technologies and strong analytical skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
