Responsibilities
- Lead the creation of elite 3D brand visuals by designing sophisticated illustrations and motion designs that enhance brand identity, combining high-level creativity with rigorous technical execution across web, marketing, and digital platforms.
- Conceptualize complex narratives by distilling abstract technical themes into clear, compelling visual stories, developing style frames and storyboards that bridge creative direction and technical execution.
- Drive technical C4D production by building complex procedural scenes and dynamic motion systems using expert physics simulations and advanced deformers, from concept tests to final renders.
- Architect custom look-development by crafting expressive lighting setups and bespoke node-based shaders in Redshift to establish a premium, distinctive visual language for brand assets.
- Lead post-production workflows by configuring sophisticated multi-pass render outputs and EXR compositing pipelines in After Effects for seamless high-end video production handoffs.
- Systematize production libraries by defining and maintaining master project templates, lighting rigs, and material libraries to enable efficient asset creation across the design organization.
- Manage rigorous color management by commanding color-managed pipelines end to end, including ACES and OCIO configurations.
- Own material systems by architecting and maintaining the shared material and texture library that ensures consistent look development across the team.
- Collaborate with the creative team by partnering with designers and engineers to bridge creative concepts and performance, managing the end-to-end technical pipeline for interactive 3D including geometry optimization, texture baking, and asset compression for web environments.
Requirements
- Over ten years of expertise producing world-class 3D visuals within top-tier design studios, creative agencies, or premier in-house brand organizations.
- Expert command of Cinema 4D and Redshift, including advanced modeling, cinematic lighting, node-based material architecture, and sophisticated procedural workflows.
- Profound understanding of visual hierarchy, composition, and form to translate intricate technical concepts into semantically legible and elegant solutions.
- Ability to architect compelling visual stories by evolving abstract ideas from initial sketches into polished style frames and comprehensive production storyboards.
- Meticulous attention to detail and an uncompromising passion for engineering premium, high-fidelity brand assets.
- Ability to drive the entire creative cycle from foundational concept development and illustration through complex animation, rendering, and high-end post-production.
Nice to Have
- Experience with X-Particles, Houdini, character rigging, or Python scripting for C4D, as well as familiarity with interactive web 3D tools like Spline or Three.js.
