3D Animator with Technical Game Experience

[Crey Games]

3D Animator with Technical Game Experience
COPENHAGEN

Us
In CREY games we are building a new, fast and playful platform for making games, building worlds and telling stories.

CREY is a young studio (starting on our 4th year). It is a multinational, multi-cultured company with the design team based in Copenhagen, tech team in Budapest and art direction in Israel.

Our team is a mix of veteran and passionate young game developers in an open-minded and challenging work environment where your ideas will have real weight, while you will have real fun – heck, we even have hot lunch, a game lounge, game nights, & excellent coffee (really excellent coffee)!

Who we look for
So, what we look for is an individual, oriented toward multifaceted work- involving all ends of CREY's animation work spectrum- rigging, skinning, motion, state machine, low poly & high poly.

CREY is an evolving software in Alpha stage and our main creative challenges lie within the integration of motion, user-generated content & the tech that supports both.

Your value to us lies within your ability to bind all these into the best game experience we can offer our users.

Yes, we're here for them!
