Art and Animation
Full-Time
Merlino Games is currently seeking a highly skilled 3D Animator to work on the future of stealth action!
We are a small indie studio with members worldwide, working on a new stealth-action franchise. We are a small team but aiming very high, so we expect anyone who joins to be efficient, driven and be comfortable working outside their basic responsibilities.
This position is full-time, remote and open to any country.
We are looking for an experienced 3D Animator to join our growing studio for a full-time position. Your job will be to create gameplay animations for the player and enemies (and possibly other simple things like weapons), plus a few cutscene animations. You must be able to nail the feeling that our players will expect from a high quality stealth game. You must understand the basics of gameplay animation systems, real-time animation and ideally also UE5 integration. Finally, you will have to be able to communicate with the character artist to make your job more efficient.
Responsibilities
- Create high quality gameplay and cutscene animations (3D)
- Create your own rigs
- Participate in the creative process by generating original ideas for animation
- Self-manage and create your own efficient workflows
- Capture your own reference footage and any other needed material to create your animations
- Collaborate smoothly with our character artist and game director
- Good communication, take feedback properly
- Collaborate on the game as a whole, sometimes slightly outside of your basic responsibilities
Requirements & Skills
- Experience creating realistic 3rd person action animations
- At least one shipped 3rd person action game
- Experience rigging models
- Understanding of game animation workflow from source to engine - ideally within UE4 or 5
- Independent and resourceful, able to manage yourself
Nice to Have
- Experience with UE4/UE5 Animation Blueprints and Control Rig
- Experience in a dynamic, efficient indie team where you might “wear many hats”
- You love MGS, Splinter Cell or other stealth-action games
