Contract Character Artist [Remote OK]
null
Hi everyone 👋, I work at a company called StatMuse. We're a distributed team building cool things with sports data and artificial intelligence.
We're looking to bring on a contract character artist as soon as possible to help lead the development of a new augmented reality application we've begun prototyping.
This is a paid position, you'll have plenty to keep you busy right away, and there's a nontrivial chance it could lead to full time work.
I'm pasting the job listing below. If you have any questions or want to apply you can email me directly at sean@statmuse.com. Please include your resume, a cover letter (can be brief and informal), some work examples and your general availability. Hope to hear from you!
----------
StatMuse is an AI knowledge engine for sports statistics and visualizations. Backed by the most comprehensive database of player stats, schedules, game logs, box scores, and more, we are changing the way sports fans interact with each other and with the game itself.
As a contracted 3D Character Artist you will help lead the development of a new augmented reality application.
Your first mission will be to retopologize high quality 3D scans for animation and lower polycount, model eyes and interior mouth, then model blendshapes for speech animation.
