Our ideal candidate is characterized by a great eye for detail and has a strong focus on modeling various hard-surface assets, everyday objects, and screens, as well as building and dressing virtual sets. While hyper-realism is not mandatory, the ability to output high-quality, beautiful renders is essential.  

Requirements

• Build, dress, and light virtual sets and environments to match the project's aesthetic needs.
• Ensure and maintain the expected visual quality and render times across projects, dealing with time and budget constraints while creating the best possible output.
• Produce high-quality, aesthetically pleasing renders.
• Receive feedback from directors, leads, and clients, proactively applying necessary corrections.
• Collaborate with animators, compositors, and other generalists to establish an efficient framework and ensure workflow and quality are at a maximum.
• Assure the best visual and technical quality of your created assets before handing them over to the compositing department.
• Work together with a growing number of dedicated and highly motivated CG Artists.

Background & Skills

• You have at least 5+ years of experience, ideally within the advertising or VFX industry.
• You have excellent, profound knowledge of Cinema4D or Maya.
• You have strong rendering skills and are comfortable with render engines like Octane or Redshift.  
• You are used to dealing with complex CGI pipelines.  
• You are an independent, structured worker and a clear communicator.  
• You are self-confident—especially when receiving feedback or dealing with clients.  
• Fluent in English (spoken and written).

• Knowledge of Unreal Engine for virtual production or real-time rendering.
• Knowledge of After Effects and a good understanding of 2D Motion principles.
• Experience using Generative AI tools (whether for video generation, concepting, or AI software/plugins that help speed up and optimize the 3D pipeline).
