Your ability to analyze and plan will help the studio develop tools to support character artists and animators in production. You'll also be responsible for our motion pipeline from creating custom rigs, optimizing workflows with scripts to keyframe animation.
As a Technical Animator, your responsibilities will be to support the needs of the animators by ensuring they have the tools they need to do their jobs. As well as being the driving force pushing the animation fidelity, you will be in charge of the animation pipelines on our games to help us achieve stunning results, while keeping efficiency at its peak.

Requirements
Ability to be the bridge between both the Technical and Creative disciplines.
Knowledgeable in 3D animation packages such as Maya, with a technical focus on rigging, skinning and tools scripting.
Knowledge and experience of rigging methods and deformation in Maya
Ability to code with Python or PyMel. Creating tools and scripts to increase productivity of the art team or other asset creators.
Motivated, creative and able to utilize own initiative to implement solutions and improvements to internal processes.

Therefore we also actively look for people who are interested in expanding their talents. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced open work-environment, you're going to like it here.
