Job Description

When you’re a gameplay animator at Ubi Montreal, you are responsible for a game’s polished, harmonious animation, which allows players to fully immerse themselves in a world that is stylistically believable and consistent.

Whether you’re animating for a hero or a monster, for a crowd or an object, you are always thinking of the movement’s intention and the subject’s behaviour, and of how this one tiny part fits into the larger picture of the game. All your efforts gain their meaning when you take a step back, see the finished product and feel the months of mechanics and decision-making dissolve to reveal a piece of art that brings a new, beautiful world to life.

You understand that teamwork is essential to reach that point. As an individual, you see a hidden story in the way a person moves; you tend to deconstruct the world around you into smaller parts that you then build back up. As a teammate, you pride yourself on your attention to detail, your organizational and communication skills, and your adaptability to change. You collaborate with artists, designers, programmers, leads and other animators, all of whom have opinions, ideas and constraints, but all of whom are committed to the unified goal of authentically portraying the universe with a certain flair.

What you'll do

• Animate using mocap data or key framing to produce gameplay assets for our games;
• Integrate and synchronize your animations in the engine, allowing the team members to have access to your lastest iterations;
• Check in with your lead and your team to see what needs to be updated;
• Testing and troubleshooting  your animations to make sure that they work as intended in game;
• Polishing your animations, so they meet the level of quality required by the production;
• Read the latest relevant academic literature in order to stay at the forefront of your field.

Qualifications

What you bring

• A minimum of 4-5 years experience in video game animation, or equivalent;
• Proficiency to communicate with all disciplines and to support and elevate the team in terms of visuals;
• Experience with animation software such as Motion Builder, 3ds Max or Maya;
• You love pushing the envelope, but you also understand the demands cohesive teamwork.

Job Description

En tant qu'animateur.trice de gameplay à Ubi Montréal, vous serez responsable de créer pour un jeu des animations fluides et harmonieuses qui permettent aux joueur.euses de pleinement s’immerger dans un monde parfaitement cohérent et convaincant.

Que vous animiez un héros ou un monstre, une foule ou un objet, vous penserez toujours à l’intention du mouvement et au comportement du sujet. Vous vous préoccuperez de définir comment un tout petit morceau s’emboite dans l’ensemble du jeu. Vos efforts prendront tout leur sens lorsque vous prendrez du recul, regarderez le produit final et constaterez que les mois de travail sur la mécanique et les prises de décision se fondent dans une œuvre d’art qui donne vie à un magnifique nouveau monde. 

Vous comprenez que le travail d’équipe est essentiel pour parvenir à ce point. En tant qu’individu, vous voyez dans chaque mouvement d’une personne une histoire cachée ; vous avez tendance à déconstruire pour ensuite reconstruire le monde qui vous entoure. En tant que coéquipier.ère, vous êtes fier.ère de votre attention au détail, de vos compétences organisationnelles et communicationnelles, ainsi que de votre capacité d’adaptation au changement.

Vous collaborerez avec des artistes, designers, programmeur.euses, chef.fes et autres animateur.trices, qui ont tous des opinions, des idées et des contraintes, mais qui partagent tous l’objectif commun de représenter un univers authentique qui se distingue d’une saveur unique.

Ce que vous ferez

• Animer en utilisant des données de mocap ou de key framing pour produire des assets de gameplay pour nos jeux;
• Intégrer et synchroniser vos animations dans le moteur, permettant aux membres de l'équipe d'avoir accès à vos dernières itérations;
• Vérifier avec votre chef et votre équipe ce qui doit être mis à jour;
• Tester et dépanner vos animations pour s'assurer qu'elles fonctionnent comme prévu dans le jeu;
• Polir vos animations pour qu'elles atteignent le niveau de qualité requis par la production;
• Lire les dernières publications universitaires pertinentes afin de rester à la pointe de votre domaine.

Qualifications

Ce que vous apportez à l'équipe

• Un minimum de 4-5 ans d'expérience en animation en jeux vidéo, ou l’équivalent; 
• Une compétence pour communiquer avec tous les corps de métier et pour appuyer et tirer votre équipe vers le haut en matière des visuels;
