Position at DNEG

Software Developer (All Levels) – Assets (Modelling, Groom, World Building)

DNEG's Build and Environments departments are responsible for creating high-end characters, vehicles, props and dense worlds using flagship digital content creation software (DCCs) such as Maya, ZBrush and Houdini. Modellers and Groom artists work closely with the Creature and Surfacing teams who in turn provide the final look of these assets, and set them up for animation and simulation for the shots where they'll be used.

You will have influence in all aspects of the software development life-cycle; designing, supporting and maintaining software as well as integrating tools into our existing pipeline.
