Job Description

We’re seeking a skilled 3D Animator to join our indie team on  Aaru: Fields of Eternity , a relaxing single-player survival and crafting game set in a fantastical Ancient Egyptian afterlife. You’ll bring to life a wide range of expressive characters and creatures – from Egyptian gods to flamingos and crocodiles.

 

Qualifications

  • Proven experience in 3D animation for games, with a portfolio showcasing stylized character and creature animation.
  • Must use Blender and be comfortable working within existing .blend files and collaborative pipelines.
  • Experience rigging and animating bipeds, quadrupeds, and non-humanoid creatures (e.g. birds, reptiles, insects).
  • Strong understanding of animation principles, timing, and movement for both humanoid and animal locomotion.
  • Familiarity with game development workflows and real-time implementation.
  • Ability to create game-ready rigs optimized for clean export and integration.
  • Comfortable working with constraints of production pipelines and collaborating with technical teams.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to iterate based on feedback and gameplay needs.

 

Bonus Points

  • Previous work animating stylized creatures or wildlife in games.
  • Familiarity with Git or other version control tools for collaborating on game projects.
  • Experience creating VFX or enhancing animations with visual effects.
  • Familiarity with animating props or environmental elements (e.g. a spinning pottery wheel).

 

Deliverables

  • Rig and animate a variety of characters, creatures, and environmental props.
  • Maintain consistent style and quality across all animations, in line with the game’s tone and art direction.
  • Collaborate closely with 3D artists and engineers to ensure smooth integration into gameplay.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize rigs/animations for in-engine compatibility (Bevy + GLTF workflows).

 

Benefits

  • Opportunity to work on a unique and creative indie game project.
  • Contract position with flexible hours.
  • Fully remote.
