I just leave the old message here, in case somebody still wants to contact us.
We appreciate professional, spontaneous applications. Thanks!
Hey there,
we are looking for an technical artist, who can create for us an octopus rig for game usage.
The character has 6 tentacles, where 2 are used as arms and the others as legs or just limbs with no specific purpose.
Arms / Tentacles:
Arms need to be controled by FK/IK and bendy limbs.
As much freedom for the animator as possible, while maintaining compatibility with Unity3D.
At least 2 tentacles need to act as hands.
Props:
The character has a hat, which needs to be able to lift and greet with it.
(So the hands needs somehow the ability to grab something)
In another animation he will pull out a sign from nowhere and show it to the user with one hand.
He has a smiling face, 2 eyes with eyelids and eyebrows.
The face needs a minimal , preferably bone-only setup for:
- pupile looking
- eye lids blinking
- eyebrows moving / rotating
- mouth open/close and slight movements (he's basically always smiling)
Controls animator friendly, zeroed out, proper axis alignments, no skewed scaling, clean and organised naming conventions (doesn't matter how exactly, but consistent).
Skinning needs to be done too.
Target Rigging Software: 3ds Max (2017 preferred, but all other versions are also fine)
It needs a clean export bone setup.
Meaning, no funky stuff on the exported and skinned bones/geometry. Since it needs to work for Unity3D on mobile.
(Morphtargets are supported in Unity, but preferably bone only setup.)
We will provide the concept art, the final 3d modelled character and every specific geometry required.
Of course, we will have to talk about any special requirements for your rigging needs before we start modelling.
We are a Germany based company.
