3D Visualisation Artist (Industrial Design Background)

Responsibilities

• Perform Blender rigging and animation, including designing complex skeletal armatures and producing high-fidelity animations for mechanical systems and tactical movements.
• Manage the content pipeline and VBS4 integration by exporting, configuring, and testing 3D assets to ensure full engine compatibility.
• Develop multi-state and damage animations for object destruction and interactive environmental elements to enhance simulation realism.
• Execute real-time performance optimization of rigs, vertex weights, and animation data to maintain high frame rates in large-scale environments.
• Collaborate cross-disciplinarily with AI researchers, military SMEs, simulation engineers, and designers.
• Solve complex technical issues using a deep-dive mindset to deliver lean, high-value solutions.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional 3D art experience in game development or closely related fields.
• Expertise in hard-surface modelling with clean, efficient topology suitable for low-poly production.
• Proficiency in Blender rigging and animation, including skin weights and locomotion.
• Strong skills in texturing (PBR) and generating bake maps (Normal, AO, Curvature).
• Ability to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for the defence sector.
