3D Character Artist & Rigger

**Responsibilities**

• Fix weight painting issues on 9 modified characters (stylized WoW-aesthetic), ensuring proper movement like the originals. Weight issues vary from minor to moderate, but a majority should only be minor.

• Restore inner-mouth geometry and textures across some of the characters. You will have access to original FBX files to restore the mouth.

• Modify an existing three-headed dog model by adding mouth slits, modeling teeth, and adjusting the paws to look more canine (paws currently appear demonic).

• Perform minor character and texture tweaks, such as adding spandex to a character's texture and adding musical notes to the cheek of another.

• Make modifications to 2-3 existing props (a lyre, staff, and floating book). Changes are mostly minor, except maybe the staff which requires kitbashing two staffs together and matching their textures.

**Qualifications**

• Proficient in 3D weight painting, stylized modeling, and texturing using Maya.

• Experience importing UE5-exported FBX files into Maya to extract, merge, and transfer weights/geometry onto current working rigs.

• Must export clean FBX files that work seamlessly in UE5.6. You must preserve the existing bone hierarchies and naming conventions.

• Ability to seamlessly match the stylized, hand-painted classic World of Warcraft visual aesthetic.
