About the Role:
We are seeking a skilled Cinema 4D Designer who can generate stunning, hyper-realistic 3D visuals, clean motion assets, and sophisticated compositing work. The role requires expertise in achieving professional authenticity and meticulous attention to detail.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop high-end, hyper-realistic product and lifestyle scenes with advanced image compositing (photomontages), from various reference materials.
- Create professional 3D product animations, including product rotations, camera moves, and simple showcases.
- Help set new standards for modeling, texturing, lighting of products, with a focus on visual authenticity.
- Accurately translate design concepts into detailed 3D models.
- Develop high-resolution final images and video assets of rendered content.
- Balance multiple projects simultaneously to meet deadlines and prioritize tasks effectively.
Requirements:
- Expert proficiency in Cinema 4D, as this is a strict requirement. We do not seek users of Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya for this role. Experience with Octane Render is highly preferred.
- Strong portfolio showcasing expertise in commercial-style 3D visualizations, expert image compositing, and 3D animation. Portfolios focused on character design, game assets, or abstract/fantasy scenes are not suitable for this role.

- 4+ years' experience as a 3D designer, preferably in a graphic/animation studio, advertising agency, or in-house creative department.
- Proactive interest in emerging 3D technologies and willingness to explore AI-powered tools to optimize workflows and push creative boundaries.
- Ability to assess a brief and determine the most effective execution strategy, knowing when to push for technical excellence and when to use smart shortcuts to meet tight turnarounds.
- Education to degree level in Design or a related subject.
- Proficiency in modeling and texturing, and creating life-like visual assets of packaging, single products, and detailed marketing scenes.
- Expertise in lighting setup, color, and shading, with a focus on optimal product presentation to achieve visual authenticity.
- Superior composition, visual veracity, texture, and illumination skills, with a sophisticated understanding of materials and ability to view products from a customer's perspective.
- Highly skilled with Adobe Photoshop and knowledgeable about the broader Adobe Creative Suite.
