Animator for Living World in Amsterdam

Our Living World (LW) Team is formed by a multi-national and goal-driven group who are by nature creative problem-solvers. The team has a thirst for technical and artistic excellence; it supervises and collaborates with a host of internal departments, enabling the production of a large variety of content while retaining a tight-knit culture. As an Animator, you are the one that breathes life into our worlds. For you, animation is not about the key-frames and poses of the hero characters. Your canvas is bigger; you work on the scale of streets, cities… entire worlds. For you the world is a character in itself.

As an Animator on the LW team, your main tasks and responsibilities are:

• You will help create real time non-interactive sequences for crowd characters from conception to integration;
• You will work closely with Directors, Leads and other stake holders to ensure consistent unified visual style;
• You will create and maintain animation assets;
• You will work and improve upon our animation systems together with our AI, Gameplay and Living World teams;
• You will organize MoCap shoots as well as edit and implement data – for all LW systems;
• You will support outsource efforts through setup, review and integration of assets.

We would love to hear from you if;

• You have 5+ years of animation experience in the industry with relevant production experience;
• You have experience working with similar systems in a AAA company & project;
• You have excellent working knowledge of Motionbuilder, (Maya a plus);
• You have a thorough understanding of editing MoCap, as well as keyframe animation techniques;
• You have an understanding of animation systems – node graphs, how to structure animations to work in one;
• You can communicate with other tech disciplines such as AI and Technical Animation;
• You have a problem solving approach and technical aptitude (setting up and maintaining solutions/workflows in DCC and in-engine).
