SummaryBy Outscal

Pipeline TD with strong Maya & Houdini skills, USD experience, and Python proficiency to create efficient workflows for VFX.

Description

Happy artists, pretty pictures. As a Pipeline TD your problem solving aptitude enables our artists to create stunning images. 

We are looking for a Pipeline TD who wants to be right at the point where technology and art meet to make things better.

Whether you’ve been an artist before or want to move from a development role closer to show-production: As a Pipeline TD you’ll be a key-contact for our VFX team in Mumbai. You’ll know how to use our tools efficiently, expand them and get the job done. 

You’ll provide a first-line support for artists and production, and ensure the necessary pipeline tools and workflows are well configured and evolved to create efficiencies and deliver outstanding visuals. 

You engage with the other TDs, pipeline and software development teams to find solutions when something is not quite there and then ‘get it done’. 

As part of this job, you’ll 

  • Work closely with the CG supervisors and the leads/sups/hods of our VFX teams to identify appropriate technical solutions
  • Team up with the Pipeline Developers, CG supervisor(s) and other TDs to create efficiencies, tools and improve workflows.
  • Be a first responder to issues on the floor, and solve or escalate them as necessary 
  • Write and setup show tools, usually in python – and support those becoming part of the wider company stack as appropriate 
  • Mentor junior ATDs and support documentation of best practices to grow the team   
  • Collaborate with the pipeline and software development teams to develop new tools and workflows 

Requirements

You’ll need to bring 

  • A problem solving can-do mindset 
  • Deep understanding of Maya & Houdini workflows in feature animation and VFX
  • Excellent knowledge of Maya and/or Houdini
  • Experience in USD
  • Python skills 

If you have additional experience in other DCCs like Nuke or Unreal, rendering (Arnold, Karma), source control tools, team leadership and a degree in computer science or computer graphics, even better.
