    • Occasional contributions to cinematic VFX depending on project demands..

Requirements

    • Strong portfolio showing complex real-time VFX with a preference for "Magical VFX", demonstrating a solid understanding of color, composition and timing. Portfolio should include a variety of styles and types of VFX.
    • At least one shipped game on PC/Console, preferably more than just one.
    • Advanced knowledge of any DCC package (e.g. Maya, Blender, Houdini)
    • Must be willing to work onsite in the Studio
