Job Description

Photoreal character animation Karma / Solaris / Houdini

n

We’re looking for talented lighting artists to join the team at Alt VFX on an exciting photoreal live action character animation project. You’ll be working in Solaris / Houdini with Karma as our primary renderer, integrating CG characters seamlessly into live action environments.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR IN YOUR REEL n

Your reel must demonstrate a solid eye for photoreal CG integration within live action footage.

n

We’ll be paying close attention to how well your work handles light interaction, contact shadows, cast shadows, and reflections that convincingly place a CG subject into a real-world environment. Show us shots where the lighting tells a story of integration, not isolation.

Requirements n

n
- Proficiency in Houdini (Solaris) and Karma renderer — this is our primary pipeline and non-negotiable
n




- Nuke compositing skills are essential — slap comps are a core part of the daily workflow and you’ll be expected to comp your own work for review
n
- Ability to anticipate and problem-solve technical and creative challenges before they become blockers
n
- Strong self-management — you own your milestones, track your own deadlines, and flag issues early
n
- Clear, proactive communication with leads, TDs, and cross-department collaborators
n

Location nn
- This role is based at our Brisbane office — all applicants must be available to work on-site in Brisbane
n
- Remote work or placement at our Sydney office may be considered for the most senior applicants, but only following a successful trial period based in Brisbane
