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. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to improving AI systems for video generation and to impact how AI models understand the logic of the physical world.

• Technical processing including rendering, layering, and preparing these files to our data specifications
• In some cases, making variations to scenes and re-rendering

Qualifications

• 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

Why join this project?

This is an opportunity to license 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.
