DESCRIPTION

Role Title: Rigging 3D expert Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Rigging 3D experts to contribute advanced skillsets to a unique customer project focused on character and hand design. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work • Create, implement, and refine hand-focused character rigs suitable for animation and simulation within 3D environments. • Collaborate with creative and technical stakeholders to ensure rig functionality aligns with project objectives and artistic vision. • Deliver precise weight painting, joint placement, and deformation solutions specifically tailored to realistic or stylized hand movement. • Assess and troubleshoot rigging issues, optimizing for usability and animation fluidity. • Document rigging processes, workflows, and tool usage to facilitate knowledge transfer and reproducibility. • Provide high-quality written and verbal feedback on rigging assignments and participate in remote discussions as needed for project clarity.
