ICONIC21 is hiring a Character Technical Artist to build a photorealistic, real-time MetaHuman game presenter in Unreal Engine — a digital human that talks to players with voice and lip-sync. Day to day: mesh-to-MetaHuman conversion, grooming, clothing/wardrobe variants, Lumen look-dev, and facial rig tuning.
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.
