Character Technical Artist (MetaHuman/Real-Time)

ICONIC21 is a premier provider of live dealer and casino games, delivering a diverse and immersive portfolio for global markets. We create high-quality gaming experiences focused on innovation, reliability, and strong visual appeal.

We are building an Unreal Engine application: a real-time MetaHuman person talks to players, replies with synthesized voice and lip-sync, and performs game-related actions. This role needs a character/facial specialization, not a VFX TA. You take a photorealistic face all the way to production quality and dress a character so it reads as alive at runtime.

Requirements:

Strong portfolio of photorealistic characters / digital humans.
Maya, MetaHuman, ZBrush, Substance Painter / Designer.
Solid understanding of character rigging, skinning, deformation and real-time constraints.
Responsibilities:

Build game presenter on top of MetaHuman (including Mesh to MetaHuman).
Handle groom (hair / brows / stubble) and tune clothing for motion.
Build the wardrobe / outfit-variant system for multiple game presenters.
Own look-dev and lighting for photorealism (Lumen); tune the facial rig (blendshapes / FACS / ARKit).
Nice to have:

Marvelous Designer, Chaos Cloth / cloth sim.
XGen / hair cards, photogrammetry / scan data, R3DS Wrap.
Python / MEL for tools scripting.
What we offer:

Challenging and exciting tasks, and all the needed tools to achieve them.
A real opportunity for professional growth in a team of professionals.
21 days of vacation, 5 flexible days for your needs, 15 sick leave days.
National holidays according to the official calendar.
