The Role: Crafting the “Eeze” Experience

At Eeze, we specialize in high-stakes, high-reward visual storytelling. As our 3D Animator, you will be the bridge between static concepts and living, breathing gameplay. Your work will span the entire creative spectrum: from technical VFX (particle systems, lighting) to the artistic nuance of environmental storytelling.

You will work within a sophisticated pipeline that prioritizes Unreal Engine for real-time rendering, ensuring that our live casino and slot titles look as stunning on a mobile device as they do on a 4K desktop monitor.

Detailed Responsibilities

1. Environment & World Building

• Immersive Spaces: Design and animate rich 3D environments for live casino sets. This includes realistic lighting, texture-driven motion, and atmospheric effects that make players feel like they are in a high-end physical lounge.

• Asset Animation: Bring life to static objects within the game world—moving machinery in themed slots, interactive board elements, and dynamic decorative assets.

2. Visual Effects (VFX) & Result Sequences

• Particle Systems: Develop complex real-time VFX such as explosions, coin fountains, magical trails, and transition wipes using Unreal’s Niagara or similar systems.

• Victory Feedback: Create “Result Effects” that trigger during player wins. These must be high-energy, rewarding, and perfectly timed to provide maximum psychological satisfaction.

• Hybrid Workflows: Expertly blend 2D motion graphics with 3D models to create a unique, stylized aesthetic that sets Eeze apart from traditional providers.

3. Integration & Optimization

• Unreal Engine Implementation: Take your animations from Blender and successfully integrate them into Unreal Engine. You will handle the import process, material setup, and blueprint-based triggers.

• Performance Tuning: The iGaming market is global, meaning our games must run on diverse hardware. You will optimize meshes, reduce draw calls, and refine animation data to ensure seamless performance without losing visual fidelity.

4. Creative Leadership & Collaboration

• Cross-Functional Teams: Partner with Product Managers to understand player psychology and Art Directors to maintain a unified visual brand.

• Iterative Polish: Actively participate in critique sessions, taking feedback from game designers to refine the “feel” of an animation until it hits the mark.

Requirements & Technical Proficiency

Core Qualifications

• Professional Journey: 3 to 6 years of experience in gaming, iGaming, or high-end digital entertainment. Candidates with more than 6 years of experience will be assessed for the Senior Animator track, which includes mentorship responsibilities.

• Blender Expert: We are a Blender-centric house. You should have a deep knowledge of its modeling, rigging, and animation toolsets.

• Unreal Engine Mastery: This is non-negotiable. You must understand the real-time pipeline, including lighting, shaders, and engine-specific animation tools.

• Bilingual Communication: Fluency in English and Chinese is required to facilitate smooth communication with our global teams and stakeholders.

Artistic Skill Set

• Physics & Weight: A master-level grasp of animation principles. You know how to make a heavy object feel heavy and how to use anticipation to build tension before a big game reveal.

• Eye for Detail: You notice the small things—the way light refracts through glass or the subtle “bounce” of a UI element.

Why Join Eeze?

Eeze believe that a creative team performs best when they are supported, valued, and excited to come to work. Our Hammersmith office is a hub of innovation where “good enough” is never the standard.

• Comprehensive Risk Benefits: We provide peace of mind with Life Assurance (4x annual salary) and Private Medical Insurance from day one.

• Financial Future: A competitive pension scheme to help you plan for the long term.

• Work-Life Harmony: With 26 days of paid holiday plus public holidays, we ensure you have ample time to recharge. Our hybrid model allows for a blend of collaborative in-office days and focused remote work.

• Culture of Growth: We are fast-growing, which means there is no “ceiling” here. If you show initiative, we provide the path for personal and professional advancement.

• Social Pulse: Regular team-building activities and local Hammersmith discounts keep our team connected and engaged with the local community.
