We’re looking for a skilled Houdini Artist to create a cinematic camera animation for a product visualization scene.
The goal is to achieve smooth, realistic, and visually engaging motion that highlights the form and design of the object.

🔹 Focus

Camera animation only — no modeling or rendering required.

🧩 Scope of Work

• Animate a single camera around an existing 3D model (vehicle).
• Duration: approximately 40 seconds (~1000 frames 25 fps).
• Emphasis on composition, rhythm, and storytelling through camera motion.
• Use professional cinematography techniques: orbit, dolly, tracking, focus transitions.
• Deliver a clean, well-structured animation ready to be integrated into the master Houdini scene.

📦 Deliverables

• .hip file or .abc (Alembic) export with camera animation
• HD Playblast preview (1920×1080) for review
• Brief technical notes: focal length, camera path, DOF (if applied)

⚙️ Technical Requirements

• Software: Houdini 20.0 or newer
• Frame rate: 25 fps
• Timeline: ~1000 frames
• Coordinate system: object centered at (0,0,0), scale in meters
• Animation must be smooth, jitter-free, and fully keyframed (no simulation-based rigs)

👤 Ideal Candidate

• Proven experience with cinematic product or automotive shots
• Strong sense of timing, rhythm, and visual storytelling
• Precision in camera curve editing and motion flow
• Ability to follow a reference storyboard and maintain continuity

We’re expanding our team to build the next great ARENA mode for our AAA real-time strategy game — featuring fast-paced 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 battles between mages, archers, shooters, monsters, and more.
This mode will serve as a high-quality vertical slice launching this Christmas, showcasing intense small-scale combat in cinematic Unreal Engine 5 visuals.

🧩 What We’re Building

A brand-new Arena Combat Mode, developed in parallel with our main RTS game — built from scratch but integrated with existing systems.

The playable vertical slice will include:

• ⚔️ 1v1 and 2v2 arena combat
• 🧙 Playable mages, archers, shooters, monsters, and melee heroes
• 🌍 Compact, detailed arenas inspired by our RTS world
• 🎬 Cinematic visuals, dynamic effects, and fluid animation systems
• 🎯 High-end Unreal Engine 5 assets & combat effects
  Template reference: Arena Style Example

🧠 Who We’re Looking For

We’re forming a dedicated Arena development pod to collaborate directly with our 17-person RTS core team.

Ideal candidates have:

• Strong experience in combat systems, multiplayer gameplay, and character controllers
• Solid knowledge of replication, player movement, and scalable gameplay architecture
• Ability to prototype 1v1/2v2 gameplay quickly with clean, maintainable code
• Experience integrating with existing frameworks and optimizing for performance

🕐 Timeline & Collaboration

• Goal: Playable vertical slice by December
• Team: Collaborate closely with designers, artists, and programmers from the RTS project
• Tools: Unreal Engine 5, Perforce/GitHub, Slack
• Schedule: Daily team sync at 10:00–11:00 AM EST
• Timezone: Preferably EST or nearby time zones
