Creatures

Technical Artist (Rigging)

I specialize in rigging complex creatures and diverse props, adapting to the unique technical demands of each asset. Whether it’s a stylized monster, mechanical construct, or detailed interactive prop, I develop custom scripts and tools to tackle rigging challenges efficiently, delivering high-quality, animation-ready assets that integrate seamlessly into the production environment.

Job description:

Creature Rigging: Development of complex and highly flexible rigs for non-human characters, to support both realistic and stylized deformations depending on project needs.

Prop Rigging: Rigging a wide range of props, ensuring they meet animation and gameplay requirements across different scenarios.

– Problem Solving & Adaptability: Each asset often presents unique challenges, requiring creative problem-solving and technical flexibility to ensure a smooth integration into the pipeline and efficient support for animation teams.

Custom Scripting: Due to the variety and complexity of each creature or prop, I often develop custom scripts and tailored rigging setups to adapt to their unique behavior or anatomy.

Workflow Optimization: Creation of tools and utilities to speed up repetitive tasks while maintaining rig consistency, stability, and performance, even in highly specialized rigs.

Material and Variant Setup: Integration of materials and variations directly in Unreal Engine 5, especially in props and creatures with modular setups or interchangeable parts.

Documentation & Scalability: Clear documentation of custom rig setups and scripts, ensuring scalability for future assets and consistency within the production pipeline.
