3D Visualization Expert
High-fidelity, marketing-grade 3D rendering and imagery are essential for our diverse portfolio of brands. We seek a skilled Cinema 4D Designer to generate stunning, hyper-realistic 3D visuals and sophisticated compositing work across various brands.
This role is responsible for translating creative concepts into precise, high-quality visuals with meticulous attention to detail. You will collaborate closely with Graphic Designers and other team members to develop professional 3D product animations, create advanced image compositing (photomontages), and set new standards for modeling, texturing, lighting, and visual authenticity.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop high-end, hyper-realistic product and lifestyle scenes, including advanced image compositing (photomontages), from various reference materials.
* Create professional 3D product animations (e.g., product rotations, camera moves, and simple showcases).
* Help us set new standards for the modeling, texturing, lighting of our products, with an absolute dedication to visual authenticity.
* Accurately translate design concepts into detailed 3D models.
* Develop high-resolution final images and video assets of rendered content.
* Successfully balance and prioritise multiple projects simultaneously to meet deadlines.
* Work with varied project briefs, cooperate with Graphic Designers, and support the wider Creative team.
* Ensure adherence to brand guidelines, adapting to the distinct visual approaches required for our various brands.
Requirements:
1. Expert proficiency in Cinema 4D. Please note that this is a strict requirement; we are not seeking users of Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya for this role. Experience with Octane Render is highly preferred.
2. Strong portfolio showcasing expertise in high-definition, commercial-style 3D visualizations, expert image compositing, and 3D animation.
3. Excellent verbal and written English communication skills are required. You must be able to fluently communicate and clearly articulate technical 3D constraints to non-technical team members.
4. 4+ years' experience as a 3D designer. Ideally, you'll have worked in a graphic/animation studio, advertising agency, or an in-house creative department and have some experience working with beauty or wellness products.
5. Proactive interest in emerging 3D technologies and willingness to explore AI-powered tools to optimize workflows and push creative boundaries.
6. Capable of assessing a brief and determining the most effective execution strategy - knowing when to push for technical excellence and when to utilise smart shortcuts to meet tight turnarounds.
7. Education to degree level in Design or a related subject (e.g., Graphic Design, Product Design, Animation, or Motion Design).
8. Proficient in modeling and texturing, and can create stunning, life-like visual assets of packaging, single products, and detailed marketing scenes. Your output must demonstrate strict adherence to photographic quality and detail.
9. Expertise in lighting set-up, colour, and shading, with a keen focus on optimal product presentation to achieve visual authenticity.
10. Superb sense of composition, visual veracity (truthfulness), texture, and illumination, and a sophisticated understanding of materials. You can view products from a customer's perspective.
11. Highly skilled with Adobe Photoshop (essential for compositing/photomontages) and knowledgeable about the broader Adobe Creative Suite.
12. Effective planning, prioritisation, and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment, and managing multiple projects simultaneously.
