Pixar is looking for Technical Directors to construct the geometry of computer-generated characters and character props. Set up models with articulation controls for technical functionality with static design for animation. Develop character rigs solutions in coordination and cooperation with animators. Maintain, enhance, and support character rigs throughout film production. Work with creative and technical leads to iterate on digital models, as needed for the production of feature animation. Ensure that the result functions in accordance with specifications, including performance, user interface, aesthetics, and robustness. Review and revise results with the Director and the creative or technical leads. Produce documentation as necessary.
Employer will accept Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Art, Architecture or related field; and six months experience in the job offered or in an animation-related occupation. Education or experience must include:
