  • Assist artists in troubleshooting the underlying cause of render or DCC scene performance problems both locally and when rendering on the farm.
  • Provide custom ad-hoc solutions to alleviate production pressure points in CG and Compositing.
  • Contribute to the studio-wide libraries and cross-DCC applications written in Python (often using Qt), working closely with the Head of Pipeline to ensure a seamless integration.
  • Contribute to tools development in support of real-time creative solutions built atop UE4+

Essential Skills and Requirements

  • In-depth production knowledge of 3dsmax and VRay.
  • A full understanding of the entire CG pipeline, from previz to final delivery.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to tailor your style to both technical and non-technical members of staff.
  • Familiarity with principles of object-oriented programming.

Desirable Knowledge

  • Knowledge of Qt (especially PySide2) and its use in various DCCs.
  • Experience with Unreal Engine 4+.
  • Experience with GIT, Perforce, or a similar version control system.
  • Experience with AWS cloud systems.
  • Experience with the Deadline render management system and its plugin and event systems.
  • Experience with other DCCs, especially Maya, Houdini, Adobe's Creative Suite, and C4D (as well as rendering in Arnold).
