The Role:

Reporting to the Animation Director, your role is to assist with the production of high-quality animation assets for projects built around our M2 technology and Unreal Engine. You will help the development team with the generation of 3d animated content using a number of software types and processes including Maya, Motionbuilder, and motion capture.

This is an ideal role for candidates who are new to the games industry and looking to gain valuable experience in a professional studio, run by seasoned industry veterans. You should be open to new ideas and methodologies, keen to develop your skills in a production-led environment, as well as being an individual who wants to be part of a diverse and creative team.

Areas for Impact:

• You will work within a close-knit, talented creative team to produce inspiring results with rapid development cycles.
• Working as part of a small but growing team of veteran developers. We are building a working environment where artists flourish and collaboration is key
• You will work closely with creative leads, designers, artists, and programmers to create high-quality game assets, leveraging the next generation of game technology.

We’d like to hear from you if you identify with the following:

• You have good 3d animation skills, focusing on character movement, weight, and performance.
• A fundamental understanding of how to import and set up animation assets in Unreal Engine.
• Experience in both key-frame and motion capture, with a good understanding of how to utilize both effectively in the production of animated content.
• Core skills in one or more common content creation packages: Autodesk Maya (or similar), Motionbuilder, Unreal Engine (UE4 or UE5)
• Curious and driven to learn new skills and abilities.
• A good showreel (or Artstation page) that demonstrates your abilities.

While we think the above experience could be important, we’re keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable knowledge to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, please apply!!
