The Opportunity

We are inviting 3D Artists and VFX experts with experience creating computer generated scenes and assets to join our global network for a high level gaming project.

• Asset licencing: Licence existing works from your personal/ studio archives for a flat fee
• Technical processing including rendering, layering, and preparing these files to our data specifications
• In some cases, making variations to scenes and re-rendering

Please note: This is a "bench" model. By verifying your credentials, you gain eligibility for high-level research tasks as they become available. Access is based on project demand and professional profile matching

What You’ll Bring

• Experience as a 3D, Technical or VFX Artist or Compositor in games, film or digital production
• Experience with Unreal Engine, Unity & Houdini, Maya / Blender / Cinema4D and similar
• Expertise in rendering, lighting and texturing
• Comfortable using technical workflows and tools
• Existing assets for licensing, with scenes separated into coherent, compositable layers

Nice To Have

• Elements including depth, albedo, shading, gloss, cryptomat

Why join this project?

This is an opportunity to licence your existing assets and to apply your expertise in VFX design on a flexible, ad hoc basis, in order to help improve AI systems for video generation with better controllability for creators.
