Rigging Artist

You are a skilled 3D Rigging Artist with deep expertise in Blender, responsible for creating custom, animation-ready rigs for nursery rhyme characters, stylized humans, animals, and whimsical creatures. You will collaborate closely with the animation and modeling teams to ensure high-quality production rigs that are expressive, flexible, and efficient. **Key Responsibilities:** - Create full rig setups of humans, creatures, and objects from scratch using Blender (not autorigs). - Build complete control systems including facial rigs, IK/FK switching, and constraint-based setups. - Perform accurate skinning and weight painting for smooth deformation. - Collaborate with 3D modelers to resolve mesh and topology issues where needed. - Ensure rigs meet animator requirements and are optimized for performance and usability. - Continuously improve rigging workflows and explore better tools and techniques. - Follow strict and time-sensitive deadlines. **Qualifications and Skillset:** - Diploma, degree, or equivalent experience in Animation, Game Design, VFX, or a related field. - Minimum 1 year of professional experience rigging in Blender. - Strong grasp of rigging fundamentals: bone hierarchies, constraints, drivers, modifiers, weight painting, and deformation logic. - Ability to create complex rigs manually without relying solely on autorigging tools. - Working knowledge of 3D modeling concepts to support collaboration with modelers. - Self-motivated, good communication, and problem-solving skills. - A solid rigging portfolio showcasing a variety of characters or objects rigged in Blender. - Understanding of animation workflows and how animators interact with rigs. **Why Join Us ** - Be part of a creative organization producing global 3D animated content. - Join a forward-thinking team that values autonomy, experimentation, and innovation. - Paid time off and paid sick leave. - A collaborative environment where your ideas can shape future workflows. **Note:** Please plan to reliably commute or relocate to Raipur, Chhattisgarh before starting work.,
