The Role: Character TD

As a Character TD, you will play a crucial role in bringing captivating characters, creatures, props, and vehicles to life. You will collaborate closely with Rigging Supervisors and Animation Leads/Supervisors to develop innovative rigging solutions that meet the specific needs of each project.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement animation rigs for characters, creatures, props, and vehicles using Maya.

  • Collaborate with Rigging Supervisors and Animation Leads/Supervisors to determine the most effective rigging approaches.
  • Possess a deep understanding of human and animal anatomy, as well as the fundamental laws of physics.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in linear algebra and fundamental animation principles.
Qualifications:
  • Proven experience in character/creature rigging for significant projects.
  • Thorough knowledge of your area of specialization within character rigging (e.g., body, face, mechanical rigs).
  • Full working knowledge of Maya.
  • Comfort with technical aspects of character/creature work and strong visual and artistic skills.
  • Familiarity with pipeline issues and a typical character/creature-heavy post-production environment.
  • Extensive understanding of human and animal anatomy.
  • Understanding of the fundamental laws of physics.
  • Proficiency in mathematics (linear algebra).
  • Fundamental animation knowledge.
Nice-to-Have Skills:
  • Programming or scripting skills (e.g., MEL, Python, C++) are beneficial but not essential.
About You:

You are a highly motivated and collaborative individual with excellent communication skills. You thrive in a team environment and possess a strong work ethic. Your ability to adapt to changing priorities and manage your time effectively is essential for success in this role.
