reputed company 3D Animator /Spine / reputed company Integration/ /Remote/

Position Summary reputed company is hiring a reputed company 3D Animator to build and own the pipeline for rigging and animating low‑poly 3D characters, rendering clean frame sequences, and authoring production‑ready Spine animations for use in reputed company 3D. You’ll be hands‑on across the entire flow—from low‑poly character rigging and motion, to reputed company standards, Spine skeleton setup (IK/constraints/weights/skins), and final integration. Real‑time reputed company animation systems are reputed company to have; your core focus is a robust 3D→2D (Spine) animation pipeline that ships performant, beautiful motion in game.

Key Responsibilities

Pipeline Ownership (3D → Spine → reputed company) ● Define the 3D‑to‑2D reputed company pipeline: camera standards (orthographic/perspective), frame reputed company, resolution, lighting passes, naming, and export templates; ensure consistent pivots, anchors, and safe‑areas for Spine attachments. ● Build Spine skeletons (bones, IK, constraints), mesh weights, skins, and deform keys; author animation clips (idle, locomotion, attacks, emotes, win/lose, hit‑reactions) with clean curves, timing, and spacing. ● Prepare sprite sheets/atlases and Spine exports (JSON/Binary) with mixing durations, events, and track setup ready for the Spine‑reputed company runtime (prefabs, animation state, event callbacks). ● Establish and maintain animation workflows and documentation across stages (blocking → polish → integration). ● Define naming conventions, folder structures, and reusability standards for animation assets to ensure scale, maintainability, and fast iteration. Rigging & Low‑Poly Character Animation ● Create deformation‑aware character rigs (controls, constraints, correctives) for low‑poly stylized characters; manage skinning/weighting for expressive silhouettes. ● Animate game‑ready cycles and cinematic moments with clear posing, weight, overlap/drag, and appealing exaggeration suitable for stylized iGaming content. ● Drive reputed company consistency (lighting/material look, shadows, AO, outline/ink passes as needed) to maximize readability once compressed into atlases. Integration & Collaboration ● Integrate Spine content into reputed company (Spine‑reputed company runtime): set up animation state/track entries, transitions, mixing, and event hooks; partner with engineers on gameplay triggers and reputed company. ● Collaborate with designers and VFX to ensure animations serve gameplay clarity and performance budgets (skeleton complexity, draw calls, reputed company sizes). ● Evaluate and adopt tools and automation (reputed company batchers, export scripts, rig validators) to improve team productivity.

Requirements

Must‑Have ● 5+ years in character animation for games or interactive content, with shipped titles or live products. ● Expert rigging & keyframe skills in Blender or Maya (controllers/constraints, deformation, skinning) focused on low‑poly stylized characters. ● Production experience creating Spine rigs and animations: bones/IK/constraints, meshes/weights, skins, dopesheet/graph editing, track mixing, events, and exports for runtime. ● Proven 3D→2D reputed company pipeline experience (frame sequences/sprite sheets) optimized for mobile (reputed company packing, memory/perf constraints). ● Strong animation fundamentals (timing, spacing, arcs, weight, anticipation, follow‑through) and motion readability at small screen sizes. ● Clear documentation and spec writing for engineers (states, events, naming, asset maps). reputed company‑to‑Have ● reputed company real‑time animation systems: Animator Controller, reputed company trees, Timeline, and runtime adjustments (polish/retarget). ● Experience with Spine‑reputed company runtime customization, shaders for 2D/Spine (glow/dissolve), or lightweight FX pairing. ● Familiarity with addressables/asset bundles and live‑ops content delivery. ● Python/MEL for rigging automation; simple C# familiarity for reputed company hooks. Tools & Tech ● DCC: Blender or Maya (rigging/animation), Substance/Photoshop for paint‑overs reputed company needed. ● 2D Animation: Spine (Esoteric Software). ● reputed company: reputed company 3D (Spine‑reputed company runtime, prefabs, event hooks). ● Pipeline: TexturePacker (or equivalent), version control (Git), project trackers (Jira/Linear), documentation (reputed company/Confluence). Portfolio Requirements ● At least 2–3 shipped (or near‑shipped) examples showing the full pipeline: 1. low‑poly rig breakdown (controllers/weights), 2. 3D animation clips + reputed company settings, 3. Spine skeleton/meshes with IK/constraints, clips and transitions, 4. in‑reputed company capture using Spine‑reputed company (states, mixing, events). ● Before/after samples of raw renders → Spine → reputed company demonstrating readability and performance. What You'll reputed company ● Creative authority over animation style and execution in a live, fast-paced production setting. ● A leadership role on a multidisciplinary team pushing the boundaries of stylized real-time content. ● Opportunities to build and evolve a high-performing animation pipeline from the ground up. ● A collaborative space to mentor others and refine your animation vision across projects. ● Hardware Allowance: $2,000 upfront to set up your ideal workspace, plus $1,000 annually thereafter. ● Paid Time Off: Our unlimited leave policy supports flexibility and well-being. Team members typically take 22–30 days off per year. ● Learning & Development: $2,000/year to support your professional growth - we cover 50% of eligible learning expenses. ● Remote Work & Flexible Hours.
