Rolle	Pflicht	Beschreibung
AR/VR Developer	Pflicht	Works with Animator Controller / Animation Blueprint for XR characters. Sets up basic animations: idle, walk, grab. Uses Animation Clips and Blend Trees.
Game Designer		Understands game animation fundamentals: sprite sheets, skeletal animation, and state machine basics. Creates simple animation specifications and references for the art team. Follows established animation guidelines for character states, transitions, and timing in game design documents.
Game QA Engineer		Tests basic character animations: idle, walk, run, jump, attack. Finds bugs with blending, T-pose, floating, clothing and weapon clipping with character body.
Unity Developer		Understands Unity animation fundamentals: Animator Controller, Animation Clips, blend trees, and state machines. Creates basic character animations using Mecanim system and configures animation events. Follows team patterns for animation asset organization and naming conventions.
Unreal Engine Developer		Understands Unreal animation fundamentals: Animation Blueprints, montages, blend spaces, and state machines. Sets up basic character animation pipelines using Unreal's Animation System. Follows team conventions for animation asset import, retargeting, and skeleton management.
XR Unity Developer	Pflicht	Works with Unity Animator for XR: Animator Controller, Animation Clips, Blend Trees. Configures basic animations for VR characters. Uses Animation Events.

Rolle	Pflicht	Beschreibung
AR/VR Developer	Pflicht	Implements IK systems for VR avatars (hand IK, body IK). Configures procedural animation for VR. Works with Animator Override Controllers for variety. Optimizes animations within the VR frame budget.
Game Designer		Designs animation state machines for complex characters: combo systems, blend trees, animation layers. Configures animation events synchronized with gameplay (hitbox timing, VFX triggers). Works with root motion and animation curves for physically correct movement.
Game QA Engineer		Systematically tests animation systems: state machine transitions, IK (inverse kinematics), animation blending. Checks animation events (footsteps, VFX triggers) for synchronization.
Unity Developer		Independently implements Game Animation Systems in Unity 2023+. Optimizes performance. Works with profiler.
Unreal Engine Developer		Independently implements Game Animation Systems in Unreal Engine 5. Optimizes performance. Works with profiler.
XR Unity Developer	Pflicht	Implements IK for VR avatars via Animation Rigging package. Creates procedural animation for VR hands. Optimizes skeletal animation for mobile VR. Works with Avatar Masks.

Rolle	Pflicht	Beschreibung
AR/VR Developer	Pflicht	Develops custom animation systems for XR: full-body tracking, facial animation. Implements physics-based animation. Optimizes skeletal animation for mobile VR (bone reduction, animation compression).
Game Designer		Designs animation systems for production: procedural animation, IK systems, motion matching. Defines animation pipeline from concept to integration. Optimizes animation systems for performance. Creates animation style guide for consistent game feel.
Game QA Engineer		Designs animation testing strategy: automates screenshot comparison for animation states, tests procedural animation and motion matching on edge cases.
Unity Developer	Pflicht	Designs production animation systems in Unity: custom animation layers, IK solvers, procedural animation, and motion matching integration. Optimizes animation performance for target platforms through LOD, compression, and GPU skinning. Mentors team on advanced Mecanim patterns and custom playables.
Unreal Engine Developer	Pflicht	Designs production animation systems in Unreal: advanced Animation Blueprints, Control Rig, procedural animation, and motion warping. Optimizes animation memory and CPU usage for target platforms through pose caching and LOD strategies. Mentors team on complex blend graphs and linked anim layers.
XR Unity Developer	Pflicht	Develops full-body IK system for VR through Animation Rigging. Implements physics-based ragdoll animation. Creates custom animation jobs through Playables API. Optimizes animation budget.

Rolle	Pflicht	Beschreibung
AR/VR Developer	Pflicht	Defines the animation strategy for the XR product. Coordinates work between animators and programmers. Establishes the animation pipeline for VR avatars.
Game Designer		Defines animation strategy for the game project: stylistics, technical pipeline, quality bar. Coordinates animator and designer work to achieve target game feel. Creates reusable animation assets and tools to accelerate development.
Game QA Engineer		Defines animation QA standards for the studio. Implements automated animation validation pipeline, establishes checklist for each animation state, coordinates with art team.
Unity Developer	Pflicht	Defines animation technology strategy for Unity projects: evaluates animation middleware, establishes pipeline standards between art and engineering teams, and sets performance budgets. Conducts reviews of animation architectures ensuring scalability and cross-platform consistency.
Unreal Engine Developer	Pflicht	Defines animation technology strategy for Unreal projects: evaluates animation tools and plugins, establishes pipeline standards between animators and engineers, and sets memory/CPU budgets. Reviews animation architectures for scalability across game modes and platforms.
XR Unity Developer	Pflicht	Defines animation pipeline for XR project. Coordinates work between animators and programmers. Establishes animation performance budget.

Rolle	Pflicht	Beschreibung
AR/VR Developer	Pflicht	Shapes the animation strategy for the XR ecosystem. Evaluates AI-driven animation for VR. Defines animation quality standards in XR.
Game Designer		Shapes animation vision at the studio level: technology standards, pipeline automation, motion capture strategy. Evaluates new technologies: ML-driven animation, neural motion synthesis. Defines animation R&D directions for future projects.
Game QA Engineer		Shapes enterprise animation QA methodology. Defines standards for testing animations across motion capture, procedural and hand-keyed animation pipelines.
Unity Developer	Pflicht	Defines studio-wide animation technology vision for Unity: evaluates next-gen animation solutions (DOTS animation, motion matching), drives R&D initiatives, and establishes cross-project animation standards. Shapes technical direction for character and environmental animation across all game projects.
Unreal Engine Developer	Pflicht	Defines studio-wide animation technology vision for Unreal: evaluates cutting-edge solutions (MetaHuman animation, Verse-driven animation), drives R&D for next-gen animation pipelines. Establishes cross-project animation standards and shapes technical direction for all game productions.
