  • Integrate motion capture data and build retargeting pipelines to maintain consistent motion quality across character sets.
  • Create and maintain tools, scripts, and automated pipelines that improve animation productivity and asset quality.

  • Proficiency with Unreal Engine, including Control Rig, Physics, and Animation Blueprints.
  • Proficiency with Unity, including Mecanim, the Animation Rigging Package, and optionally DOTS animation.
  • Experience with Maya and 3DS Max for rigging, scripting, and tool creation.
  • Experience with Houdini for procedural rigs, physics, or motion tools is a bonus.
  • Experience with Perforce, Git, and standard DCC tools such as Photoshop and Substance.
  • Must have relevant working rights for Malaysia or Indonesia.
