Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Shape the future of filmmaking at Qube Cinema, where cutting-edge technology meets boundless creativity. As our Senior Unreal Artist – Virtual Production, you will be the creative engine behind high-end 3D scenes, photorealistic environments and interactive assets that empower directors, cinematographers and storytellers to bring impossible visions to life in real time.
• Own the full asset lifecycle—from initial concept visualization through final on-set delivery—crafting props, levels, environments and hero content that meet the exacting standards of feature films, episodic series and high-profile commercials. You will translate storyboards and previs into fully realized virtual worlds, ensuring every texture, light bounce and camera move feels cinematic and emotionally resonant.
• Partner daily with internal art, engineering and R&D teams as well as external filmmakers, VFX supervisors and cinematographers. You will translate creative briefs into technical specifications, block out sequences, build animatics and iterate on look-dev at the speed of thought, all while maintaining crystal-clear communication with every stakeholder.
• Be the bridge between art and code. Work hand-in-hand with programmers to prototype new Unreal features, test bleeding-edge rendering techniques and provide actionable feedback during R&D sprints. Your insights will directly influence toolsets used across the entire Virtual Art Department.
• Optimize virtual sets for real-time performance without compromising visual fidelity. Rebuild heavy assets, implement LOD strategies, fine-tune lighting budgets and ensure every scene runs flawlessly on LED volumes and on-set workstations under the unforgiving pressures of live production.
• Provide on-set virtual production support, troubleshooting issues in real time, adjusting lighting, camera rigs and set extensions while directors and actors perform within the volume. Your calm expertise will keep shoots on schedule and creative momentum flowing.
• Stay ahead of the curve by continuously researching and integrating emerging AI tools, procedural generation techniques and real-time rendering breakthroughs. You will champion best practices, mentor junior artists and elevate the entire team’s technical and artistic bar.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects under tight deadlines, balancing quality, scope and resources. Your proactive planning, risk assessment and transparent progress reporting will ensure every milestone is hit and every director walks away inspired.

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years as a Senior VAD Artist or equivalent in AAA game production or Virtual Art Department, with a shipped title or credited feature film showcasing high-end real-time assets
• Expert-level proficiency in Unreal Engine 5.x and at least one major DCC package (3ds Max or Maya)
• Demonstrated mastery of lighting, layout, texturing, rendering and Blueprint creation inside Unreal, backed by a portfolio of photorealistic environments and cinematic sequences
• Proven ability to optimize complex scenes for real-time performance on LED volumes or VR/AR devices
• Strong familiarity with source control workflows (Perforce preferred) and collaborative asset management
• Nice-to-have: hands-on experience with Lidar scanning, photogrammetry capture, traditional VFX pipelines or team leadership supervising Unreal artists

🏖️ Benefits

• Work on marquee feature films and global commercial campaigns that premiere on the biggest screens and streaming platforms worldwide
• Relocation assistance and a modern studio in the heart of Chennai’s creative tech district, complete with state-of-the-art LED volume and motion-capture stage

• Competitive salary, performance bonuses, comprehensive health coverage and flexible hybrid work arrangements to keep your creative spark alive
