3D Animator

Job Description

<p><strong>Responsibilities: </strong></p><ol><li>Animation Creation: Develop and create 3D animations using specialized software, such as Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender, to produce realistic movements, actions, and performances of characters, objects, or environments.</li><li>Storytelling and Visualization: Collaborate with team members to understand the project’s vision, storyboard, or script. Translate concepts, ideas, and storylines into visually appealing and engaging animated sequences.</li><li>Character Rigging: Set up the skeletal structure of characters or objects by creating rigs, which allow animators to manipulate and control movements. This involves defining joints, controls, and constraints to provide realistic motion and deformations.</li><li>Keyframe Animation: Create keyframes and interpolate them to establish smooth and fluid motion. Utilize animation principles such as timing, spacing, anticipation, and follow-through to bring life and personality to characters or objects.</li><li>Visual Effects: Integrate visual effects elements, such as particle systems, dynamics simulations, or fluid simulations, to enhance the overall look and feel of the animation.</li><li>Problem-Solving: Identify and resolve technical issues or challenges related to animation, rendering, or software tools. Maintain a strong understanding of industry trends, new techniques, and emerging technologies to continuously improve the quality and efficiency of animations.</li><li>Time Management: Manage and prioritize tasks effectively to meet project deadlines without compromising quality. Adhere to production schedules and provide accurate time estimates for animation tasks.</li><li>Quality Assurance: Review and refine animations based on feedback, ensuring they meet the project’s artistic and technical requirements. Conduct quality control checks to identify and fix any errors or inconsistencies.</li></ol><p><br></p><p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p><ol><li>Education and Training: A bachelor’s degree or equivalent in animation, computer graphics, visual effects, or a related field.</li><li>Proficiency in 3D Animation Software: Strong knowledge and experience with industry-standard 3D animation software are essential. </li><li>Animation Skills: A deep understanding of animation principles, timing, and movement is crucial. Proficiency in keyframe animation and knowledge of various animation techniques is expected. </li><li>Creativity and Attention to Detail: Strong creative and artistic skills are essential to bring characters and objects to life through animation. Attention to detail is necessary to ensure consistency and accuracy in movements, expressions, and overall animation quality.</li></ol><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
