  • Able to independently navigate and use previous setups for sequences, developing or matching key shots, managing multiple assets and lighting setups
  • Work closely with Look Development Artists to evaluate assets in a shot context
  • Management of volumetric light setups, including shadowing and cucoloris development
  • Light and render assets using CG hair and scattering skin materials.

To be a contributing member of this team, you will have a mix of these skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering or computer graphics or equivalent 3-5+ years production experience or feature film experience with lighting work.
  • Linux Experience
  • In depth knowledge of software application used specifically for lighting (preferably Katana and Renderman)
  • Experience with Nuke.

Desirable Skills / Competencies:

  • Technical knowledge of path tracing
  • Scripting using Python or OpScript.

At Lucasfilm/ILM we believe that diversity, inclusion and belonging are integral to our company. We are at our best when our people at all levels reflect the vast life experiences of our audiences, and we thrive when ideas and decisions from all are valued and represented. If you are passionate about the role, but don't fit every criteria of the posting, we encourage you to still apply. We want to hear your story.
