  • Build modular character components (e.g., outfits, accessories, hairstyles)
  • Collaborate with riggers and animators on blendshapes, facial systems, and deformation
  • Work with shader artists to ensure anime-style NPR fidelity (outlines, shading)
  • Design clothing using Marvelous Designer where needed
  • Set up MagicaCloth2 physics for hair, accessories, and outfits

Skills & Requirements

  • Portfolio showing anime-style or NPR 3D characters/avatars
  • Proven ability to faithfully translate 2D designs into 3D

  • Basic MagicaCloth2 experience for character physics
  • Self-directed and collaborative in a remote work environment
  • Must have 3-5 years professional experience creating Games, Anime, or other Entertainment related fields

Bonus / Nice-to-Have

  • Marvelous Designer for anime-style clothing
  • Experience with VRChat, ChilloutVR, or VTuber platforms
  • Familiarity with Unity Humanoid rigs and blendshape systems
  • Knowledge of Shader Graph for NPR shading (outlines, lighting)
  • Real-time facial tracking integrations (e.g., Warudo, FaceMotion3D, iFacialMocap)
