Tim Borrelli
Senior Animator


I am a creative and technical animation director at Volition, Inc. with over 11 years of experience leading animation teams, mentoring animators, designing animation systems, and directing or aiding in the animation efforts of 7 titles across multiple platforms. Additionally, I have 7 years of experience directing and working with motion capture, from coordinating and directing mocap shoots to taking the delivered data to final quality, and am currently developing an in-house optical mocap solution for Volition.

I also have extensive experience in the area of technical animation, and I spearheaded the development of the technical animator position at Volition with my role on Saints Row. My work in this field has involved the design of in-game animation systems, the design and development of animation and character pipelines (including the character customization system in the Saints Row franchise), and rigging (both body and facial). In addition to the in-house optical mocap solution, I am currently working on the design and development of a new animation system at Volition, including a new node-based blendtree animation toolset for projects currently in development.
