London, Greater London, United Kingdom DNEG DNEG Group Full time

We are seeking a highly skilled Creature Technical Director to join our team at DNEG. As a key member of our animation and simulation rigging team, you will be responsible for developing high-quality rigs and simulations for creatures, digital doubles, vehicles, props, and other complex assets.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 5 years of experience in feature film production, with a strong background in rigging and enveloping in Maya, as well as a broad understanding of other areas such as cloth, hair, flesh, rigid body destruction, and crowd simulations.
