Lead XSI Rigger

Description

Lumenas Animation Studios is beginning production on our feature animation The Legend of Santa Claus. We are developing an XSI/Maya hybrid pipeline and we're really interested in a seasoned Lead character TD and riggers with experience in both software packages, but XSI rigging experience is crucial the crucial software. Our characters are being modeled in Maya and UV/textured in XSI. The rigs are being done in XSI. We are looking for riggers that have solid experience working with body and facial rigs and also have experience building rigs for both key-frame and mo-cap. It is expected that the riggers will stay throughout the course of the film with the possibility of long-term placement in the studio.
