CG GENERALIST — SURFACING & LOOK DEVELOPMENT

Full Dome / Immersive Media Production • Remote • Dublin-Based Production • Immediate Start through November

Algorithm is a Dublin-based production company creating immersive media for hemispherical Full Dome
projection. We are looking for a mid-level CG Generalist with a specialism in surfacing, look development, and
rendering to join us immediately on a contract through early November. Working under the Digital Imaging
Supervisor, you will be responsible for establishing and maintaining the visual quality of assets and environments
across the production — ensuring everything holds up under the scrutiny of a large-format immersive screen.
For questions and consideration, please email CV and Reel if available to jobs@algorithm.ie

Responsibilities

  • Lead surfacing and look development for characters, assets, and environments across the production.
  • Build and maintain shaders and materials in Redshift, establishing a consistent visual language that serves
    the project’s aesthetic.
  • Work closely with the Digital Imaging Supervisor to define and uphold the look of the production from asset
    through final render.
  • Set up and execute lighting and rendering for environments and asset-heavy shots, optimising for quality
    and render efficiency.
  • Collaborate with the broader CG team on asset integration, ensuring surfaces, materials, and environments
    read correctly in context.
  • Maintain clean, well-organised scene and asset files; adhere to production naming conventions and handoff
    standards.
  • Contribute generalist CG support across other areas of the pipeline as capacity allows.

What You Bring

  • 3–5 years of CG production experience in animation, VFX, or immersive media.
  • Strong proficiency in Autodesk Maya, with particular depth in surfacing, asset work, and environment
    assembly.
  • Demonstrable Redshift expertise in shading, look development, lighting, and rendering — a portfolio
    showing environment and asset work is essential.
  • A sharp eye for material quality, surface detail, and how assets read under varied lighting conditions and at
    large scale.
  • Comfortable working as a generalist beyond your specialism — able to contribute across the pipeline when
    needed.
  • Reliable and self-directed in a remote environment; able to take direction well and adapt to evolving
    production needs.
  • Prior dome or wide-format experience is not required.
