Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHans Godard is a Principal Technical Artist with a decade of experience building scalable character pipelines and production tools for AAA studios, currently driving pipeline modernization at Tencent from Irvine, CA. He blends deep artistic rigging and animation expertise with systems engineering—replacing RemoteExecution, standardizing Python across 3.9–3.11, and automating vendor package compilation to expose tools without source. His background includes leading character tech at Blizzard and Naughty Dog, shipping ML-augmented solvers, modular face and deformation rigs, and one-click exporters that bridge Maya to Unreal Engine. Hans pairs hands-on C++ and Python plugin development with game design prototyping and mobile player contributions, showing a rare cross-discipline fluency between engine, DCC, and runtime. Notably, he organized studio-wide character tech summits and has driven practical ML integrations (rotation weighter, retargeters, skinning solvers) that improve scalability and artist workflows.
