Our Values: We believe in an honest and transparent environment, where developers grow in our crafts. We value bold risk-taking followed by excellence through iteration. We seek developers with diverse experiences who will enrich our studio creativity.

  • Tools development, training and documentation for the animation team. 

 

Skills We Look For:

  • Expert knowledge of rigging (body and facial), in-game animation systems and methodologies.
  • High level of expertise with Maya (expertise with MotionBuilder or other 3D applications is welcomed).
  • Understanding of anatomy, modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, dynamics and particle systems. Ability to work directly with modellers and assist them. Modelling skills are a bonus.
  • Scripting skills and tool development with leading 3D applications (e.g. Maya, MotionBuilder, or Softimage) MEL, Python & C++/C# is a bonus.
