You will work with a structured rubric and provide clear written reasoning to name craft issues and applicable standards.

Qualifications

• Portfolio or production experience in 3D design for VFX Artist / 3D Animator work.
• Hands-on familiarity with standard tooling for the discipline.
• Comfort applying multi-page rubrics consistently across long batches.
• Clear written reasoning that names the craft issue and the standard being applied.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• Review AI outputs against current 3D design craft and tooling standards for VFX Artist / 3D Animator assignments.
• Grade composition, constraint adherence, and production-readiness on a structured rubric.
• Flag tooling-specific failures (file format, scale, naming, layer hygiene) with severity tags.
• Capture the corrected approach or reference so the modeling team can train on it.
• Adjudicate disputed creative judgments against published references or firm style guides.
• Maintain reviewer-quality scores in inter-rater calibration cycles.

Job description

Category: Creative, Media & Design Evaluation · Pay: Hourly rate confirmed after the interview process · Location: Remote — US-eligible · Contractor

VFX Artist / 3D Animator is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across 3d design workflows. Reviewers grade craft, constraints, and tooling adherence; flag production-readiness issues; and document the corrected approach so the modeling team can train on it.

Why this role matters

3D design AI is only useful if a working professional would actually ship the output. AuraOne uses portfolio-credentialed reviewers to grade outputs the way a senior creative would — with craft, constraints, and tooling all in scope.

Responsibilities

• Review AI outputs against current 3d design craft and tooling standards for VFX Artist / 3D Animator assignments.
• Grade composition, constraint adherence, and production-readiness on a structured rubric.
• Flag tooling-specific failures (file format, scale, naming, layer hygiene) with severity tags.
• Capture the corrected approach or reference so the modeling team can train on it.
• Adjudicate disputed creative judgments against published references or firm style guides.
• Maintain reviewer-quality scores in inter-rater calibration cycles.

Qualifications

• Portfolio or production experience in 3d design or an adjacent creative discipline for VFX Artist / 3D Animator work.
• Hands-on familiarity with the standard tooling for the discipline.
• Comfort applying multi-page rubrics consistently across long batches.
• Clear written reasoning that names the craft issue and the standard being applied.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Example tasks

• Grade a model's 3d design output against the brief and rate craft, constraints, and production-readiness.
• Flag a tooling-specific failure (incorrect file format, unsupported feature, naming convention) with severity.
• Adjudicate a disputed creative judgment between two reviewers using a firm style guide.
• Audit a 25-asset batch for rubric consistency and report drift to the program lead.

Nice to have

• Studio, agency, or in-house team experience shipping production work.
• Prior experience reviewing AI-assisted creative tooling and its failure modes.
• Familiarity with AAA or feature-grade pipelines and asset standards.

Skills

• Creative review
• Production-grade craft
• Tooling fluency
• Asset evaluation
• 3D design
