I own a small VFX/design company in NY and am currently looking for new remote freelancers to add to the roster, as well as those who would be willing to collaborate on 1 or 2 still shots immediately. My new company website is going up soon and I am building up the gallery, primarily with RenderMan as I have acquired the full RMS suite. I am primarily looking for modelers, and those who can not only build base meshes but are proficient in ZBrush or Mudbox with sculpting and texturing. Concept artists are welcome to provide us with some sketches/digi paint versions of what is floating around in our brains.
This collaboration would be unpaid, but any artists who help will get first dibs on projects that come in. My company is primarily subcontracted work for larger studios in NY and LA, and also directly for clients. They usually call us when they need something very complex that they can’t figure out how to do internally, so the work is challenging but usually fun. As an example, last year I had to create over 200,000 cereal flakes exploding out of a robot’s head for a Fruity Pebbles commercial. If anyone has kids or are cartoon junkies you’ve probably seen it playing for the last year on Cartoon Network. We also work on films when we’re called in, though commercials and promo videos come up more frequently.
For this current collaboration, I am not asking anyone to spend too much time. I figure most models could be whipped up in 1-4 days for an experienced modeler. We do photo-real stuff so these would be high poly sculpts on low res base meshes. Some models can be primarily base meshes or minor sculpts with procedurals added in RenderMan to augment. Textures are welcome but I can create them by hand or procedurally if time is short. We are aiming for simple environments, props, and simple characters. Quality above quantity.
I hope some of you would be willing to assist. I have a personal contact in LA who is going to be pushing my business to a large vendor pool of a huge company out there and getting a few more nice examples to show should really help get in bigger jobs and guarantee work for us and anyone who helps out. We also partner with other small companies on gigs so this is not just for individuals.
If you are interested please PM me or email me with your info, examples of work, and any questions to employment@offtherackpro.com I can send examples of work we have done since our site is offline while in development.
Thanks
