3D Animator and Modeler - Blender

We are seeking a highly skilled and creative 3D Animator and Modeler with a strong focus on animation and secondary expertise in modeling using Blender. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of creating compelling, high-quality animations and well-optimized 3D models for characters, creatures, and environments. You will collaborate with our art and design teams to bring stories and concepts to life through fluid, dynamic animations and visually stunning 3D assets.

Key Responsibilities:

Animation (Primary Focus):

- Create high-quality character and object animations in Blender, including walk cycles, facial expressions, action sequences, and cinematic animations.

- Develop realistic and stylized animations that align with project requirements and artistic direction.

- Rig characters and assets for animation, ensuring clean, functional, and efficient rigs.

- Animate cameras and create cinematic sequences for storytelling purposes.

- Polish and refine animations to achieve the desired level of quality and realism.

- Work within technical constraints to optimize animations for real-time applications (e.g., games, interactive media).

- Troubleshoot and resolve animation-related issues.

- Collaborate with modelers and texture artists to ensure animations integrate seamlessly with 3D assets.

- Stay updated with the latest animation techniques, tools, and trends in Blender and the broader animation industry.

Modeling (Secondary Focus):

- Create high-quality 3D models for characters, props, and environments using Blender.

- Develop clean, efficient, and well-optimized models for animation and real-time rendering.

- UV unwrap and texture models, ensuring they are ready for animation and rendering.

- Collaborate with animators and texture artists to ensure models meet project requirements.

- Assist in troubleshooting and resolving modeling-related issues.

Requirements:

- 3+ years of professional experience in **3D animation** and **modeling**, with a strong focus on Blender.

- Expertise in Blender's animation tools, including keyframe animation, graph editor, and rigging systems.

- Strong understanding of **animation principles** (timing, weight, anticipation, squash and stretch, etc.).

- Proficiency in Blender's modeling tools, including sculpting, retopology, and UV mapping.

- Experience animating characters, creatures, and objects for games, films, or other media.

- Ability to create clean and functional rigs for characters and assets.

- Strong attention to detail and a passion for creating lifelike and expressive animations.

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

- A portfolio showcasing your **animation work** (demo reel) and **modeling examples**.

Preferred Skills:

- Experience with other animation and modeling software (e.g., Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter).

- Knowledge of Blender's physics simulations for cloth, hair, and fluid animations.

- Familiarity with game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine for implementing animations and models.

- Understanding of facial animation and lip-syncing techniques.

- Experience with motion capture data cleanup and enhancement.
