As a Senior Character Technical Artist (TA), you will be heavily involved in the Sports Technology Character Initiatives. The main areas of responsibilities include character deformation and simulation in Houdini, and working with and debugging farms, pipelines, and simulation set-ups. There will also be work involved developing simulation and accessory rigs. You will be expected to cross-collaborate and communicate with TAs, SEs, and Character Artists, and provide technical and artistic feedback on anatomy and deformation. The work benefits from keeping up to date with the latest Houdini features, and assessing their impact on future improvements. There will also be work involving run-time rigging implementation in a data-driven GameEngine.
