3D Rigger careers

A 3D Rigger creates digital skeletons for characters and objects in animation, allowing for realistic movement in films, games, and other media. You’ll use rigging software to develop functional rigs that animators can manipulate for fluid motion. Key tasks include setting up control systems, adjusting rig parameters, and ensuring rigs meet project requirements.

As a 3D Rigger, strong technical skills and attention to detail are essential. Collaboration with animators and artists is crucial to produce high-quality, dynamic animations that enhance storytelling.
