• Photoshop Refinement: Prepare and refine AI-generated assets in Photoshop to ensure the highest quality.
• Collaboration: Work closely with artists and production teams to integrate generative AI techniques into the overall pipeline, ensuring smooth workflows and high-quality output for photorealistic content.

Requirements

• Technical Expertise: Strong Familiarity with ComfyUI and Automatic1111 for creating AI-generated content.
• Experience: At least 5 years of experience as a Technical Artist, VFX Artist, or in a similar creative role, with a focus on digital art in the visual effects or games industry.
• Generative AI Expertise: A strong understanding of the neural network generated imaging space, with at least 1 year of hands-on experience working with AI tools and models to create photorealistic art.
• Photoshop Proficiency: Advanced skills and knowledge using Photoshop to refine photorealistic imagery.
• Model Compatibility Management: Experience managing the compatibility between different Stable Diffusion versions, ensuring the correct use of checkpoints, weights, and related components (e.g., ControlNet, configurations) when transitioning between models like SD1.5 and SDXL.
• Portfolio: A strong portfolio that demonstrates your ability to combine technical expertise and artistic vision using generative AI techniques.
