Our Mid 3D Riggers mix elegant technical skills with creative problem solving to create rigs that animators love to animate with. Their day to day focuses on rigging assets whilst maintaining production quality and style as required.
As a Mid Level 3D Rigger, there is an expectation of responsibility to facilitate communication with other departments about design and production queries, as well as maintenance of existing assets. Additionally, there is a heavier emphasis on rigging the high profile assets of specific productions and being more involved in the design of the rigging systems behind them.
