Career Path
Animation riggers create the controls and mechanics that allow animators to bring characters to life. This role requires a solid understanding of Houdini's rigging tools and animation principles. **Technical Animator**
Technical animators focus on the technical aspects of animation, ensuring characters move realistically and efficiently. They often work closely with riggers to optimize character rigs and animations. **Character TD**
