Character rigging is the process of creating an animated person, animal, or other moving object and adding features for movement to make it look more realistic or to match the flow of the storyline. In this role, you develop characters for cartoon shows, animated films, and video games. You create the framework of the character using rigging tools such as Maya or Motionbuilder and manipulate the character to make it jump, run, smile, or do other actions. Once the framework is set, you may add physical features, such as skins and facial shapes, to be used by the animator to develop the movement flow within the show or game.
| Aspect | Character Rigging | 3D Modeler |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Creating skeletons and controls for character animation | Modeling 3D objects and characters |
| Skills Required | Rigging techniques, anatomy, software like Maya or Blender | Modeling, texturing, topology, software like Maya, Blender, 3ds Max |
| Work Environment | Animation studios, game development, VFX | Game studios, film, animation, product visualization |
| Certifications | Often not mandatory but relevant courses in rigging and animation | Often not mandatory but relevant in modeling and design courses |
While both roles work closely in 3D production, Character Rigging specializes in creating the underlying structure for animation, whereas a 3D Modeler focuses on building the visual and geometric aspects of models. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.
Do you love working with and empowering animators by providing them the tools necessary to bring characters to life? Are you passionate about working at the cutting edge of story telling mediums and working in a highly technical environment? Do you have experience working with motion capture teams? Are you comfortable collaborating with game developers in the Unreal pipeline? If so, we may have the role for you.
We are looking to hire a Rigger and/or a Technical Animator to kickstart our gameplay animation team. You would work closely with Art and Production to produce in-game content and cinematics.
