Job Description

The Role

The main responsibilities of the Asset Lead revolve around organizing, planning, and overseeing the execution of all CG assets for Game Cinematic and Commercial projects. In addition to working hands-on, you will oversee and participate in the construction of props, vehicles, stylized characters, creatures, photoreal humans, FACS blendshapes, and, at times, environmental work. You will be tasked with working on hero assets like characters/creatures while providing supervision. Your portfolio must showcase exceptional artistic skill. Collaborating closely with teams in Los Angeles, Europe, and India is essential, with a special emphasis on leveraging Time Zone overlap to initiate and oversee work in India. A continual drive for increased artistic and technical quality/expertise within a collaborative team is highly valued and encouraged.

The assets department is responsible for most asset work, from initial model creation/ingestion through texturing, lookdev, and assisting rigging. The Asset Lead possesses expertise in best practices and techniques for generating clean and efficient geometry for various target outputs (e.g., rigging, simulation, photorealistic rendering, as well as real-time game engines). Collaborating with Assets Supervisors, CG Supervisors, VFX Supervisors, and Heads of the CG Department (HODs), the Asset Lead ensures that assets are created properly within the studio pipeline and meet the specific needs of projects and clients. Continued collaboration with other department supervisors on workflows and pipeline is also expected.

Experience with real-time engines is highly desirable, particularly in Unreal Engine, Unity, and Frostbite.
