Jobs 3D Animation

We’re MSToons — a YouTube animation studio creating high-volume story-driven content for a multi-million audience. Our team is growing fast, and we’re looking for a 3D Animator who can join our Minecraft project, switch into our pipeline, and produce dynamic, expressive animation at the level our audience expects.

We work in Mine-imator, so this role requires switching to that software.

No previous Mine-imator experience is required — we provide a paid adaptation period, internal guides, and support during onboarding.

What you’ll do

• animate characters and action scenes;
• work with camera, timing, and scene dynamics;
• bring story moments to life in our visual style.

All assets are prepared by our modeling team, so your focus is animation + camera work only.

Requirements

• 1+ year in 3D animation;
• experience with Blender / Maya / Cinema 4D or similar;
• solid understanding of timing, spacing, posing, and action animation;
• willingness to learn Mine-imator.

Nice to have

• Minecraft / voxel-style animation experience;
• Mine-imator / Modelbench experience;
• rigging skills.

Workload

After the adaptation period, we expect the animator to handle 600 seconds of finished animation per month.

We offer

• paid test task;
• paid adaptation period;
• first 3 projects paid at $70 per finished minute;
• fixed salary after successful adaptation;
• salary growth based on performance, speed of adaptation, and consistency of animation quality;
• growth opportunity into a lead role in the future.
