VFX Artist (Freelance) Job at Razorfish in New York

Freelance 3D Generalist – Product Visualization

We're seeking an experienced 3D Generalist with a background in photorealistic consumer product visualization and CAD workflows.
You'll work mainly with CAD assets provided by manufacturers, cleaning up and optimizing complex geometry for rendering. Then you'll integrate those products into supplied photographic or AI-generated backgrounds. A major part of the role is camera and lighting matching. You'll analyze a background image and recreate its perspective, scale, lighting, reflections and shadows in 3D so the product looks like it was actually photographed in the scene.
Key Qualifications
Proven experience creating photorealistic consumer product renders for advertising or marketing
Experience importing, cleaning up and optimizing dense CAD files, including Parasolid (.x_t), STEP and STL
Proficiency in at least one major 3D application, such as Cinema 4D, Maya, Blender or 3ds Max
Advanced lighting, shading, materials, texturing and rendering skills
Solid understanding of photography, lenses, perspective and camera matching
Ability to create believable reflections, contact shadows and environmental interaction
Basic compositing and image-finishing skills (Photoshop or similar)
A sharp eye for materials, proportion and composition
Comfortable collaborating and iterating in a creative production environment
Nice to Have
Experience with AI-generated imagery or generative AI workflows
Experience with VFX integration techniques
Portfolio Please include a portfolio showing high-end photorealistic product work. Examples of CG products integrated into photographic environments are especially valuable.
