Real-Time Artist

A real-time 3D artist draws upon the skills that are commonly found in the production pipeline to create content or assets in a real-time environment.

Previsualisation Artist

Storyboards may not be done for VFX projects, however you may come across "Previs''. Previs Artists create rough, most times grayscale 3D models and environments, to place in a scene in order to map out the general camera angles, layout and animation for a scene.

Layout Artist

The Layout Artist will use storyboards as reference to create camera angles for a scene, as well as placing or 'laying out' the props and environments made by the Modelling department.

Rigging TD

A Rigging TD has the responsibility of creating the backbone of a character, literally. The role requires someone to have an understanding of performance, human anatomy as well as a firm grasp of coding languages.

FX TD

FX Technical Direction, or FX Artists are usually involved in the pre-production planning of a project as they will require a lot of research and development time if the special effects are complex.
