Why join Swaybox Studios?
At Swaybox Studios is rewriting the rulebook of visual storytelling. As we collaborate with DC Studios / Warner Bros Pictures Animation and Matt Reeves’ 6th and Idaho on a revolutionary new project, you’ll play a vital role in coordinating the artistry and logistics that bring bold visions to life. This is your chance to help lead a production that’s equal parts innovative and unforgettable.
Job Summary
Swaybox Studios is seeking a technically adept and creatively driven Senior Maya Technical Artist to lead the seamless integration of facial performance through the innovative combination of keyframe poses and proprietary facial replacement technology. This role is central to maintaining the emotional fidelity and character consistency of our hybrid puppetry-CG performances, ensuring the final output meets the high artistic standards of the studio.
The Senior Maya Technical Artist will be focused on facial performance replacement, utilizing projection mapping in Maya with a hand-off to compositing in Nuke. You’ll play a hands-on role in resolving technical challenges and collaborating with Technical Directors to evolve tools that enhance production efficiency. This is a perfect position for someone who understands the subtle art of expression, character performance, and hybrid storytelling.
Key Responsibilities
- Ensure keyframe poses are seamlessly matched between our proprietary machine and animation performances within the face replacement pipeline.
- Contribute and develop the projection mapping and texture workflows within Maya.
- Communicate and collaborate with the VFX Supervisor, MoMo Art Supervisor, and TDs to align visual performance with narrative goals and identify areas of improvement in the pipeline, including tool and workflow development.
- Troubleshoot and debug technical issues related to face projection, animation line up, and pipeline tools; providing timely support and solutions.
- Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including training sessions, tool descriptions, and user guides to ensure clarity and repeatability across the department.
- Develop, maintain, and optimize custom tools, scripts, and workflows within Maya to support our teams and maintain best practices within our pipeline.
- Coordinate with production teams to align technical processes with project timelines and goals.
