3D Animator

Job description:

We are looking for a creative and detail-oriented 3D Animator to bring characters, environments, and objects to life for films, games, advertisements, or digital media. The ideal candidate has strong artistic skills, technical expertise, and a passion for storytelling through animation.

Role & responsibilities:

· Strong command of 3D animation tools (preferably Blender).

· Proficient in lighting and rendering with tools like V-Ray, Cycles, or Unreal Engine.

· Experience using spotlights, volumetric lighting, and cinematic setups.

· Skilled in hard surface modeling, rigging mechanical elements, and creating realistic materials (metal, rubber, chrome, etc.).

· A portfolio or reel demonstrating advanced lighting and product-centric animation.

· Ability to animate with energy, precision, and a brand-consistent style.

· Develop, implement, and optimize interactive features, gameplay mechanics, and UI systems using Unreal Engine (UE4/UE5).

· Work closely with the design and animation teams to translate concepts, storyboards, and workflows into real-time scenes.

· Integrate and refine 3D animations, skeletal rigs, motion graphics, and character/prop movements inside Unreal Engine.

· Collaborate on the creation of cinematic sequences, camera movements, lighting, and scene compositions.

· Implement and optimize shaders, materials, visual effects, and environment assets to achieve high-quality visuals.

· Ensure seamless integration of 3D models, textures, animations, and audio assets.

· Perform performance profiling and optimization across platforms (PC, mobile, VR/AR).

· Troubleshoot and debug animation, rendering, and real-time performance issues.

· Maintain clean documentation for pipelines, tools, and development workflows.

Preferred candidate profile:

· Bachelor’s degree in Game Development, Animation, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).

· Strong proficiency in Unreal Engine (UE4/UE5) and Blueprints Visual Scripting.

· Solid understanding of 3D Animation principles—keyframing, rigging, motion paths, IK/FK workflows, and timing.

· Hands-on experience with integrating animation sequences, Animation Blueprints, and blend spaces in Unreal Engine.

· Good knowledge of Design fundamentals—composition, lighting, staging, color theory, and visual storytelling.

· Proficiency with C++ programming for Unreal Engine is a strong advantage.

· Familiarity with industry-standard 3D tools (Maya, Blender, 3ds Max, Cinema4D) and asset pipelines.

· Understanding of real-time rendering, PBR materials, and optimization techniques.

· Experience with version control systems (Git, Perforce, SVN).
