Senior-Level Artists will be responsible for defining the lighting look-development for entire sequences, troubleshooting complex render issues, and mentoring mid-to-junior artists to ensure visual consistency across the production. Key Responsibilities and Duties Atmospheric Creation: Design and implement lighting setups that define the mood, time of day, and emotional tone of a scene based on concept art and storyboards.

Continuity: Maintain visual consistency across multiple shots within a sequence, ensuring that light direction and intensity remain uniform. Technical Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the rendering process, such as noise issues, flickering, or excessive render times. Collaboration: Actively participate in dailies and creative sessions, providing technical insights and artistic suggestions to elevate the project’s visual standard. Required Skills and Qualifications Artistic Foundation: A deep understanding of traditional lighting techniques, including 3-point lighting, rim lighting, and global illumination. A strong grasp of color theory and composition is essential. Technical Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of Autodesk Maya and industry-standard render engines such as Arnold, V-Ray, or Redshift. Compositing Skills: Proficient in Foundry Nuke for multi-pass compositing and final shot integration. Experience: 4–8+ years of experience in a professional studio environment working on animated features, high-quality TV series, or AAA game cinematics. Attention to Detail: An uncompromising eye for detail regarding shadows, reflections, refractions, and volumetrics. Workflow Efficiency: Knowledge of Python or Mel scripting for pipeline automation is a significant advantage for senior roles. Why Join Eplus Studio? Creative Excellence: Work on projects where lighting is not just a technical step, but a primary storytelling tool. Growth Environment: We encourage our artists to experiment with new techniques and tools, providing a platform for continuous professional development. Collaborative Spirit: Join a team that values your input. At Eplus, every artist is a contributor to the creative vision.
