Los Angeles, California, United States AGBO Full time

We are seeking an experienced and skilled Rigging Artist to join our team at AGBO. As a key member of our crew, you will be responsible for designing and building complex character and creature rigs and pipelines for use in various projects. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring that characters and creatures move realistically and convincingly within the context of the project. We are committed to providing a competitive compensation package, commensurate with experience, and a dynamic work environment that fosters creativity and innovation. In this role, you will work closely with animators, modelers, and other team members to deliver high-quality results. If you have a passion for animation and a strong portfolio showcasing your rigging work, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity. Please note that the estimated salary for this role is $160,000 - $200,000 per year.

Responsibilities:
1. Design and build sophisticated character and creature rigs using industry-standard software like Autodesk Maya, Houdini, Blender, or similar tools. This may include creating skeletons, muscle systems, deformations, and control setups.
2. Prepare characters for animation by setting up skinning and weighting to ensure that the mesh deforms correctly as the character moves.
3. Develop facial rigs that allow animators to create expressive facial animations, including lip-syncing, blinking, and emotive expressions.
4. Implement realistic body mechanics in rigs, such as joint limitations, muscle simulations, and secondary animations like cloth and hair.
5. Write scripts and use automation tools to streamline rigging processes and improve efficiency.
6. Troubleshoot rigging issues and provide creative solutions to technical challenges that may arise during the animation process.
7. Collaborate closely with animators, modelers, and other team members to ensure rigs meet the artistic and technical requirements of the project.
8. Maintain detailed documentation and guidelines for the rigs to facilitate smooth handovers to animators and other team members.
9. Provide guidance and mentorship to junior rigging artists, sharing best practices and helping them develop their skills.
10. Keep up-to-date with industry trends, tools, and techniques related to rigging and animation to ensure the team's work remains at the cutting edge of the field.
