About The Role We are seeking a talented and autonomous Animator to join our VR game development team. In this role, you will be responsible for creating high-quality character and weapon animations that meet strict performance standards for standalone VR headsets.

You will work independently from concept to implementation, rigging and skinning your own assets in Blender, exporting them into Unity, and integrating them seamlessly into the game environment. This position offers the prospect to take ownership of your assets throughout the entire development cycle, collaborating closely with design, programming, and art teams to enhance the overall game feel and user experience.

Qualifications The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in hand-keyed animation, rigging, and skinning within Blender, with proven experience in game development pipelines. A solid understanding of Unity's Animator system, including state machines, transitions, blend trees, and avatar setup, is essential.





Candidates should have a portfolio or reel demonstrating their ability to produce clean, performant, and reusable animation assets. Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal, are required. A minimum of one full production cycle of animation work, including character and weapon animation, is expected.

The candidate should be comfortable working independently, making technical decisions, and troubleshooting import/export issues efficiently.

Responsibilities

- Animate characters with a focus on idle states, locomotion cycles, combat actions, and reactions that convey realism and engagement.
- Create dynamic weapon and prop animations, including firing, reloading, equipping, holstering, and moving parts, ensuring they integrate smoothly with character actions.
- Rig and skin characters and weapons in Blender, including joint placement, weight painting, and establishing animation controls suitable for game use.
- Build and maintain complex Animator state machines, including states, transitions, parameters, blend trees, and layers to facilitate seamless animation flow.
- Set up avatars, implement retargeting, and manage root motion to ensure animations work correctly across different characters and scenarios.




- Export FBX files from Blender, troubleshoot import issues, and optimize assets for performance within Unity.
- Maintain strict adherence to project performance budgets by controlling bone counts, clip lengths, and rig complexity.
- Deliver clean, well-organized, and reusable animation assets, with clear naming conventions for easy integration by team members.
- Collaborate with 3D artists, designers, and developers to hook up animations and refine game feel, ensuring a cohesive user experience.
