Reporting to the Animation Lead you will work closely with the Animation Design and Gameplay Programming teams to design integrate and optimise animation systems.
Youll be actively involved in the development of animation systems using the tools at your disposal as well as producing animations for prototyping when required to a level of quality that allows animation systems to be validated while ensuring their reliability and performance for AAA projects.
Main responsibilities
- Design and management of animation systems in collaboration with the technical and artistic teams. (animation blend tree replacement and procedural systems)
- Integrate and validate animations in the systems (animation markers data).
- Organisation and structuring of animation data in the engine.
- Identify and solve technical problems related to the animation systems.
- Produce animations particularly during the prototyping phase and make corrections or updates where necessary.
- Helping to improve the quality of the animation tools and systems and the results produced.
