Magnopus is looking for an AI Artist to create high-quality, photorealistic imagery and motion content for a major new project.
As a spatial design and innovation company, we work at the intersection of technology, creativity and emerging experiences. Our teams bring together artists, engineers, designers and producers to create visionary work using both established production techniques and rapidly evolving technologies.
In this role, you'll combine a strong artistic eye with hands-on experience using generative AI tools to create and refine characters, environments and motion assets for production.
You'll work with image and video generative AI tools, node-based workflows and more conventional creative techniques to take work from initial generation through iteration and refinement to production-ready output.
This is first and foremost an artist role. We're looking for someone with excellent visual judgement who can use generative AI effectively as part of their creative toolkit, working within innovative workflows to deliver consistently high-quality results.
Contract
Location
What you'll do
- Create feature-film quality character elements, environments and motion assets for use in production.
- Use generative AI image and video tools to create, explore and iterate visual ideas against a clear creative brief.
- Work within node-based generative AI workflows to generate and refine production assets.
- Use conditioning and control techniques to shape composition, pose, character consistency and overall visual style.
- Create and refine image-to-video, video-to-video and other generative motion outputs, maintaining visual quality and consistency across sequences.
- Adjust lighting, perspective, composition and other visual elements using multimodal editing tools and established creative techniques.
- Identify and correct artifacts, inconsistencies and other visual issues in generated content.
- Perform light compositing, paint and finishing work where needed to deliver polished, production-ready assets.
- Collaborate with other artists, technical artists and production teams to maintain the creative vision and quality of the project.
- Test emerging tools and techniques, providing feedback to help improve the workflows used by the wider team.
What will help you succeed in this role
- A strong artistic foundation and excellent visual judgement, particularly when creating photorealistic imagery.
- Strong professional experience creating high-quality visual content within film, VFX, animation, games or another relevant creative production environment.
- Hands-on experience using generative AI tools to create and refine high-quality, photorealistic imagery.
- Experience using node-based generative AI workflows such as ComfyUI or similar graph-based tools.
- Experience using conditioning and control techniques within generative AI workflows to manage composition, pose, character and stylistic consistency.
- Strong hands-on experience with generative video tools, including image-to-video and video-to-video workflows.
- A strong understanding of composition, lighting, color, perspective, camera and lens characteristics, continuity and visual consistency.
- The ability to critically evaluate generated output, identify visual issues and iterate efficiently towards a clear creative target.
- Experience refining generated assets using multimodal editing tools, compositing, digital painting or similar techniques.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality visual work across generative imagery and motion content.
- The ability to collaborate effectively with artists, technical artists and production teams in a fast-moving production environment.
Even better if you also have
- A background in compositing, digital matte painting, LookDev, animation or another relevant production art discipline.
- Experience delivering visual assets within feature film, VFX, AAA game, or another high-end production environment.
- Experience working with rapidly evolving generative AI tools and adapting established creative workflows as new capabilities emerge.
