Mid/Senior Modellers

Description

Rising Sun Pictures is currently looking for experienced Mid & Senior Modellers to join our growing team for photo-realistic feature film work.

Employment period: Immediate start through to late 2017.
Location: Adelaide, Australia. These positions are open to Australian and international applicants. Visa and relocation assistance provided where applicable.


Position Overview
RSP modellers are required to model highly complex digital environments, props and characters for a variety of live action feature film projects. We are not seeking applicants with predominately cartoony models. Applicants presenting photo realistic work will be reviewed with priority.

Your previously held positions are likely to have included modeller and/or senior modeller. Artistically, you have previously modelled large environments from cities to large and complex terrain, all with great speed and accuracy. You are an expert communicator, a natural team player and forward thinking vfx professional. Time management is something you excel at, ever mindful of providing regular updates to production and meeting scheduled deliveries. Your models are adaptable and can be easily used in a film pipeline by effects & texture artists and lighters alike.

Your excellent communication and collaboration skills are highly regarded by your previous supervisors. You provide confidence to production because you have absolute clarity in what is expected of you in terms of consistency and quality asset delivery.


Responsibilities

• Create and deliver models that meet each creative and technical brief.
• Ensure every asset you create is stress tested and meets the needs of those downstream.
• Work with other modellers, texture artists, Houdini artists and look dev team members to deliver complex assets.
• Work with the layout and scene department to provide models in line with blocking and animation requirements.
• Re-topologise models provided by other vendors or modellers if required.
• Work closely with the Look Development team to determine optimal UV layout.
• Review your work for internal and external delivery, ensuring it hits creative and technical notes.
• Actively mentor and develop less experienced team members.
• Promote a collaborative and enjoyable workplace influencing morale, fostering purposeful discussion and positive work ethic.

• Minimum 3-5 years professional experience in the areas of modelling & texturing. Exceptional talent will be considered.
• Expert user of production ready software including Maya, Mari, Z-Brush & Mudbox. RSP operates in a Linux system environment.
• Some exposure to Nuke & Houdini is desirable, but not essential.
• Real world understanding of proportion, depth, scale, and physical space.
• Expert organisational skills.
• Maintain a calm and professional demeanour in a deadline focused work environment.
• Technical and creative problem solving with a service oriented mindset.
• Visual Effects, Fine Art, Computer Science, Physics or Mathematics or related tertiary qualification may be required for international applicants.
