About The Role We are seeking a skilled and autonomous Animator to join our dynamic team working on a VR game built in Unity for standalone headsets. In this role, you will be responsible for bringing characters and weapons to life through high-quality hand-keyed animations.

You will handle the entire asset pipeline—from rigging and skinning in Blender to exporting FBX files and integrating animations into Unity. Your expertise will ensure that all animations meet performance constraints while maintaining visual fidelity, contributing directly to the immersive experience of our game. The ideal candidate will work independently, taking ownership of their assets from concept to in-game implementation, and collaborate closely with the design, development, and art teams to achieve a cohesive game feel.

Qualifications The successful candidate will possess a robust portfolio demonstrating extensive experience in character and weapon animation, rigging, and skinning. You should have a solid understanding of Unity's Animator system, including state machines, transitions,



blend trees, and avatar setup.

Proficiency in Blender for rigging and skinning, along with a proven ability to produce clean, reusable animation assets, is essential. You must be comfortable working autonomously, making technical decisions, and troubleshooting import/export issues. A minimum of one full production cycle of animation work is required, along with excellent communication skills in English.

Familiarity with VR-specific animation techniques and experience with C# scripting for animation integration are advantageous.

Responsibilities

- Animate characters, including idle, locomotion, combat, and reaction sequences, ensuring smooth and realistic motion.
- Create animations for weapons and props, such as firing, reloading, equipping, holstering, and moving parts, with attachment to hands and sockets.
- Rig and skin characters and weapons in Blender, focusing on joint placement, weighting, and animation controls.
- Build and maintain Animator state machines within Unity, including states, transitions, parameters, blend trees, layers, and avatar masks.
- Set up avatars, handle retargeting, and implement root motion to ensure seamless animation playback.




- Export FBX files from Blender, troubleshoot import issues, and optimize assets for performance constraints.
- Ensure bone counts, clip lengths, and rig complexity stay within the project’s performance budget.
- Deliver clean, well-organized, and reusable animation assets for team use.
- Collaborate with 3D artists, designers, and developers to integrate animations effectively into the game and refine game feel.
