3D Combat AnimatorSearching

We are L & L Technology Pty Ltd, an experienced team with a strong background in immersive technology and game development. We are working on a real-time strategy game inspired by the Three Kingdoms era in China, similar in scope and style to Total War. We are seeking an experienced 3D animator to create realistic and stylish combat animations for infantry and cavalry units. The ideal candidate will have experience with melee weapon physics and choreography, especially with blades, spears, and halberds. You will collaborate closely with our passionate and technically knowledgeable team to bring dynamic and engaging combat sequences to life.

Our game features low-poly, cartoon-style ancient soldiers. We will provide rough motion-capture data, they needs to be cleaned up and enhanced with slightly exaggerated movements. These full-body animations need to be broken down into distinct, individual attack and defensive actions. Or you can also choose not to use the mocap data at all.
