RED STAR 3D LOGO

Job Overview Feature Details Company Name Red Star 3D Project The Amazing Maurice 2 (Feature Film) Location Sheffield, England, UK (Physical base in UK/EU required) Work Type Remote (Contract-based) Experience Level Junior / Mid / Senior (Minimum 1 year production experience) Contract Duration January – August 2026 Primary Software Autodesk Maya Key Technical Skill MASH (Procedural scattering and environment creation) Asset Types Hard surface & Organic (Props, Sets, and Environments) Salary Negotiable (Based on experience) Company Overview Red Star 3D is an award-winning animation studio dedicated to crafting high-quality feature films and immersive content. Following the success of our global hit The Amazing Maurice, we are expanding our team for the highly anticipated sequel. We pride ourselves on a collaborative, artist-driven environment where technical skill meets creative storytelling. The Role We are seeking talented Set & Prop Modellers at all levels (Junior, Mid, and Senior) to help bring the vibrant world of The Amazing Maurice 2 to life. In this role, you will be responsible for translating stylized concept art into high-quality 3D assets, ranging from intricate hand-held props to expansive, detailed environments. The ideal candidate possesses a keen eye for silhouette, scale, and technical efficiency, ensuring assets are production-ready for the surfacing and lighting departments. Key Responsibilities Qualifications Why Join Red Star? The Creative Vision & Impact As a Set and Prop Modeller for The Amazing Maurice 2, you are a digital world-builder. You aren’t just creating standalone objects; you are responsible for the tactile feel of the film. Whether you are modeling the intricate textures of a medieval street or the organic curves of a stylized forest, your work provides the physical foundation for the lighting and animation teams. Because this is a sequel to a successful feature, there is a high bar for “stylized realism”—meaning your models must look whimsical and hand-crafted while maintaining the technical integrity required for high-end cinematic rendering. The Technical Workflow: Maya & MASH A unique aspect of this role is the heavy emphasis on proceduralism. Red Star is looking for more than traditional “box modeling.” By requiring experience with MASH, the studio is signaling that they need artists who can handle scale and complexity. You will be expected to create “smart” environments—using procedural scattering to distribute grass, rocks, or clutter in a way that looks natural but remains easy for the computer to process. This balance of artistic layout and technical optimization is the core challenge of the position. How to Apply: Please submit your CV, a link to your demo reel (with breakdown), and your current location. More Jobs Red Star 3D hiring Set & Prop Modeller Apply now See open roles
