Job Description

Framestore brings together world-class producers, artists, and technologists to craft visually striking work across advertising, episodic, and immersive productions. Our teams blend creative ingenuity with cutting-edge technology to deliver high-end visual effects, immersive storytelling, and premium content for global clients, brands, and broadcasters.

**this is not an FX TD Role - its a Generalist Role

Framestore combines talent and technology to bring life to everything we create. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future, we set out every day to reframe the possible.

We are looking for a budding Houdini Generalist who is eager to apply their technical and creative skills across the entire 3D pipeline. You'll be encouraged to see multiple areas of a project through from procedural modelling and UVs to lighting, lookdev, and compositing.

Requirements

• Developing assets using non-destructive workflows for everything from photoreal hero props to stylised background elements.

• Gaining hands-on experience in defining the final aesthetic, visual mood, and procedural shading of assets to ensure seamless integration.

• Assisting in the creation of vast, procedural landscapes and cityscapes, utilising Houdini to build and dress complex 3D environments.

• Collaborating with the 2D department to ensure CG layers are optimised for the final slap-comp in Nuke.

• Helping manage complex scenes and data sets within our Linux-based pipeline.

• Collaborating across disciplines to produce imagery ranging from photoreal live-action integration to stylised CG.

• While we don't expect you to be an experienced TD. We are looking for candidates with a strong foundational "bridge" between technical logic and visual artistry.

Technical Essentials:

• A solid working knowledge of Houdini is a must.

• Foundational experience in lighting, rendering, and animation.

• Familiarity with Arnold or similar.

• Basic experience with VEX and Python is highly desirable.

• A basic understanding of the compositing process (ideally in Nuke).

• An understanding of the CG mathematics required for rendering and optimisation.
