3D Animator/Rigger Needed For Eventual Paid Position

We are a small indie game development company called Ascension Entertainment LLC. We are taking our popular HL2 mod retail and we need another character/weapon animator and rigger. In particular someone who knows how to import animations to the Unreal editor. We already have a small team together to make a playable feature limited demo (2 programmers, 2 modelers, 1 texture artist/modeler, 1 animator, 2 concept artists, 1 sound effect engineer and 1 music composer) We've made progress in that we have the storyline and the features fully written out, 2 character models (2 fully textured and optimized), 3 weapon models, part of skybox model and 6 original songs. You would be rigging and animating 2 character models which each require approximately 85 animations. We're in the pre-funding stage so you cannot be paid, but pending successful Kickstarter funding we would hire you for full time work. Familiarizing yourself with our mod "Modular Combat" would help you understand the sequel. The gameplay will remain the same, but the story and setting have changed. See [login to view URL] for information about Modular Combat and [login to view URL] for information about Modular Combat 2. The engine for Modular Combat 2 will be Unreal. Animations can be done in any program, but if you're familiar with importing animations into Unreal; that would be a great asset. Requirements: - English as first/primary language - 18 years and older - Experience with animating and rigging - Although not required, experience with Unreal editor would be an asset Note: Successfully chosen candidate will also be required to sign an NDA before any further information is made available.
