The Role
As an Environment Artist at Framestore, you'll be the mastermind behind assembling models, digital matte paintings, textures, projections, and lights into a spellbinding scene for rendering. Your creative touch extends to crafting models, textures, and photo-realistic digital matte paintings – or collaborating seamlessly with specialists in those disciplines.
But it's not just about the artistry; you'll be the troubleshooter, tackling technical issues with the CG scene and optimising renders to work seamlessly within available resources. Your collaboration extends to working hand-in-hand with a Compositor, bringing renders and projections to life in a compositing application.

Scene assembly and lighting prowess for a variety of shots and assets, including characters and animation.
A keen eye for developing the visual look of shots, assets, or sequences in collaboration with Visual Effects and CG Supervisors.
Identifying the optimal approach to match the quality of plate photography.
Seamless communication with production, ensuring schedules and deadlines are not just met but exceeded.
Strong knowledge of Houdini, Nuke, and Photoshop.
Modeling, UV layout, and texturing skills.
Previous experience with a 2.5D workflow.
A strong understanding of the entire VFX process.
Good communication and organisational skills.
Creative problem-solving abilities.
Desirable Experience
Experience with volumetric rendering for clouds and atmosphere.
An understanding of cutting-edge technology in the field, such as stereo photogrammetry and photo-based 3D reconstruction.
