Senior Character Animator, Rigger
Job Description:
• Develop, design, and maintain modular, scalable rigs for humanoid and non-humanoid characters in Blender.
• Build advanced rigging systems including FK/IK switching, squash/stretch setups, constraint-based control systems, space switching, and facial systems using shape keys or blend shapes.
• Animate cinematic sequences, character reactions, narrative shots, emotional beats, and gameplay-inspired moments for Treasure Party’s PNP pipeline and marketing videos (UA, ASO, trailers, and promos).
• Create and manage a reusable library of motion cycles, action templates, expressions, transitions, and animation building blocks for iterative ad testing.
• Work closely with the Creative Director, Lead Artists, and internal partners to maintain consistency, character fidelity, and brand alignment across rigs and animations.
• Troubleshoot rigging and animation issues across Blender workflows, ensuring scenes are optimized and assets transfer cleanly between artists.
• Optimize rigs for performance, animator usability, and compatibility with internal and external contributors.
• Maintain clean hierarchies, naming conventions, rig documentation, and scalable systems for long-term creative growth.
• Participate in creative reviews and provide input to improve animation quality, scene layout, lighting, camera work, and production methods.
• Provide feedback and support for vendor teams, ensuring external rigs and animations meet internal standards.
Requirements:
• Bachelor's degree in Animation, Computer Graphics, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience as a Character Rigger, Character Animator, Technical Animator, or in a similar role, with a portfolio demonstrating your ability to create polished rigs, expressive character animations, and strong technical foundations.
• Strong creative problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze artistic feedback and execute adjustments into polished visual assets that align with project goals.
• Comprehensive knowledge of composition, lighting, and color theory, applied through your experience in creating immersive and compelling pre-rendered visuals for games.
• Proven ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, providing guidance and ensuring alignment on the artistic vision, while fostering a positive and collaborative work environment.
