3D Motion Graphic Designer & Animator
Summary
Creates 3D animations, motion graphics, and visual effects for casino floor display systems and digital media screens — jackpot animations, win sequences, celebratory effects, and UI motion graphics — working across the full 3D pipeline (modelling, texturing, rigging, lighting, rendering) in tools like Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender.
Key Responsibilities
· Collaborate with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to conceptualize ideas, develop story boards, and translate creative direction into compelling animation.
· Design story boards, animatics, and visual concepts to support animation sequences for casino floor display systems and digital media screens.
· Create and execute 3D animation sequences and visual effects based on concept art, delivering polished and production-ready motion content.
· Support the 3D production workflow as needed, including modelling, topology, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering.
· Develop high-quality 3D animations, motion graphics, and visual effects for casino floor display systems and digital media screens.
· Prepare, optimize, and export animation and graphic assets across multiple formats and screen configurations, ensuring technical specifications and display requirements are met.
· Develop engaging visual content such as jackpot animations, win sequences, celebratory effects, and UI-related motion graphics for gaming machine interfaces and overhead displays.
· Incorporate stakeholder feedback and perform iterative refinements to improve animation timing, visual impact, and overall quality.
· Conduct reviews of existing visual content and contribute suggestions for improvement to enhance player engagement and visual experience.
· Work closely with teams to support animation guidelines, creative direction, and production workflows for display systems.
· Handle assigned animation tasks across multiple projects, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to production schedules.
· Maintain an organized asset library with proper naming conventions and version control practices.
· Stay updated with motion design techniques and visual effects trends, particularly for casino gaming machine display systems and entertainment visuals.
· Familiarity with real-time or interactive display systems is an advantage.
