We are inviting 3D Artists and VFX experts with experience creating computer generated scenes and assets to join our global network for a high level gaming project. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to improving AI systems for video generation and to impact how AI models understand the logic of the physical world.

What You Will Be Doing

• Asset licensing: Licence existing works from your personal/studio archives for a flat fee
• Technical processing including rendering, layering, and preparing these files to our data specifications
• In some cases, making variations to scenes and re‑rendering

What You'll Bring

• Experience as a 3D, Technical or VFX Artist or Compositor in games, film or digital production
• Experience with Unreal Engine, Unity & Houdini, Maya/Blender/Cinema4D and similar
• Expertise in rendering, lighting and texturing
• Comfortable using technical workflows and tools
• Existing assets for licensing, with scenes separated into coherent, compositable layers
