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;

• You love pushing the envelope, but you also understand the demands cohesive teamwork.

Job Description

As a Rigger at Ubi MTL, you make it possible for characters and objects to come to life and move realistically within our worlds.

From pivoting to bending, squashing and stretching, you define what can be done and how through flexible and intuitive rigs. You take inspiration from the real world when you can – and turn to your imagination when you can’t. With a variety of internal tools at your disposal, you can focus on achieving quality and consistency without having to build everything from the ground up time after time.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with the art team to understand the overall game vision and rigging and skinning needs;
• Study concept art and research your own references.
• Rig and skin characters and objects while staying organized (keeping your scenes clean, following naming conventions, etc.).
• Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints with the help of technical directors.

Working with other directors early on, you discuss intentions before making any commitments. You take into account not only measurable factors such as rendering, performance, and memory, but also intangible ones like timing and momentum. Seeing the facts realistically, you establish an actionable plan to bridge the gap between coming up with ideas and putting them into practice.

Though every day of development brings its own mix of both expected and unforeseen challenges, you never lose sight of the big picture. As a strategic thinker and tactical planner, you balance short-term priorities with long-term goals, while consistently considering the future impacts of your choices.

What you’ll do

• Collaborate with other core team members to develop the overall vision & determine technical feasibility.
• Identify and analyze risks (engine, data, features, etc.).
