Glu Mobile has an exciting opportunity for a talented 3D animator to animate characters for the next generation of 3D mobile games.
Primary responsibilities include creating 3D character animation of mostly humanoid figures, and vehicles for mobile games. The position requires previous experience rigging and animating low-poly characters in 3DS Max for handheld platforms (PSP, mobile phones), or older 3D consoles like Playstation 1 or Nintendo 64. The candidate must be able to deliver high-quality, realistic animation that clearly conveys action and character. The animator for this position must be capable in a diverse range of animation skills and techniques – expertise in rigging and animating skinned, as well as linked-object hierarchies, with or without IK constraints, bones, or Biped animation control. Some modeling and texturing experience is preferred, as it pertains to optimizing models for easier animation and export. The candidate should be able to work well with artists, designers, and programmers to create effective animation that meets the requirements of the game and engine.
Samples are required, and should include, at minimum, a realistic walk and run cycle of a humanoid character between 300-400 polygons done in 3DS Max.
Education and Experience:
