CG Production:

• Create and manipulate 3D models, ensuring accuracy and attention to detail.

• Develop high-quality textures and materials to enhance the realism of characters and environments.

• Rig characters and assets for animation, ensuring smooth and natural movement.

• Animate characters and objects to bring them to life, incorporating realistic behaviors and expressions.

• Conduct lighting and rendering to achieve desired visual aesthetics.

Integration with Animatronics:

• Collaborate closely with animatronics engineers and designers to integrate CG elements seamlessly into physical animatronic systems.

• Ensure CG assets meet the technical requirements for physical integration, such as weight, size, and movement limitations.

• Work with the fabrication team to ensure that CG elements are accurately represented in the final physical build.

Creative Collaboration:

• Participate in concept development and pre-production meetings, providing input on the feasibility and visual direction of CG elements.

• Collaborate with the design team to ensure that CG elements align with the overall creative vision of the project.

• Actively contribute ideas and suggestions to enhance the visual quality and impact of animatronics experiences.

Quality Assurance:

• Conduct rigorous testing and quality checks to ensure CG elements meet the highest standards of realism, functionality, and performance.

• Identify and address any issues or discrepancies in CG assets, such as textures, geometry, or animations.

• Continuously optimize and refine CG workflows and processes to improve efficiency and quality.

Documentation and Communication:

• Maintain clear and organized documentation of CG assets, workflows, and technical specifications.

• Collaborate with team members to ensure effective communication and coordination throughout the project lifecycle.

• Present work and progress updates to internal stakeholders, incorporating feedback and revisions as needed.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Graphics, Animation, Visual Effects, or a related field (advanced degree preferred).

• Proven experience as a CG Generalist, Animator, or similar role in a creative production environment.

• Proficiency in industry-standard CG software, such as Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, or equivalent.

• Strong understanding of 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering techniques.

• Familiarity with integrating CG elements into physical environments or animatronics systems is a plus.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

• Flexibility to adapt to evolving project requirements and timelines.
