Surfacing Artist (Feature Animation)
Double Negative’s Feature
Animation department has been slowly building over the past couple of years and
we are delighted to officially launch the new facility. Together we will bring
the vision of both major Hollywood studios and independent productions to life.
We aim to compete with the
best in the business and will rely on our talented Surfacing Artists to work
closely with our production team to create the textures, surface, and groom
qualities needed for the completion of CG Characters and hard-surface models.
Delivery of high quality hair, fur, feathers and organise elements for our 3D
characters and environments will be required as you collaborate with the team
to determine design and technical solutions.
Known for the quality of the
work we produce, our Surfacing Artists work closely with Art Directors,
Modellers and their Leads to achieve the desired looks of assets an to maintain
the high level of work while meeting deadlines.
