About The Role

We are seeking a talented and autonomous Animator with a strong background in character and weapon animation for our VR projects built in Unity. The ideal candidate will be responsible for creating high-quality, real-time animations that meet strict performance criteria for standalone VR headsets. You will work independently from concept to implementation, rigging your own assets in Blender, exporting FBX files, and integrating them seamlessly into Unity.

Your work will directly influence the feel and realism of our immersive experiences, making this role pivotal to the success of our projects.

Qualifications To succeed in this role, candidates should possess a solid portfolio demonstrating their animation, rigging, and skinning skills.

Experience with hand-keyed animation, especially for characters and weapons, is essential. Proficiency in Blender for rigging and skinning, coupled with a thorough understanding of Unity’s Animator system, is required. Candidates must be self-driven, capable of working autonomously, and familiar with the FBX pipeline from Blender to Unity. A minimum of one full production cycle of animation work is necessary, along with excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

Responsibilities

- Animate characters, including idle states, locomotion cycles, combat sequences, and reactions, ensuring fluidity and realism.




- Create animations for weapons and props such as firing, reloading, equipping, holstering, and moving parts, ensuring attachment points align correctly in Unity.
- Rig and skin characters and weapons in Blender, including joint placement, weighting, and establishing animation controls.
- Build and maintain complex Animator state machines, including states, transitions, parameters, blend trees, layers, and avatar masks to facilitate seamless animation flow.
- Set up avatars, retarget animations, and implement root motion to enhance movement realism.
- Export FBX files from Blender, troubleshoot import issues, and ensure assets meet project performance budgets regarding bone counts, clip lengths, and rig complexity.
- Deliver clean, well-organized, and reusable animation assets that can be easily integrated and utilized by the rest of the development team.
- Collaborate with 3D artists, designers, and developers to ensure animation quality aligns with game feel and design goals.
