  • 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.
