DIGIC Pictures is looking for a new team member who wants to immerse themselves in the technical side of 3D filmmaking within the film and game industry. If you have a solid foundation in programming, find yourself drawn to the world of CGI, and coding is more than just a job to you, then you are exactly who we are looking for!
Responsibilities
As a Junior ANIMATION TD, you will act as the bridge between artistic vision and software capabilities. You will support CGI artists by providing technical solutions, ensuring they can create without technical hurdles, and assisting production workflows with scripted solutions.
- Supporting and developing the animation workflow.
- Writing custom tools and scripts to streamline daily tasks.
- Identifying and resolving technical issues (bugs, crashes, export errors).
- Collaborating closely with senior developers and artists.
- Continuous experimentation with new technologies and methodologies.
- Working primarily within Maya and Unreal Engine environments.
Essential skills

- Problem-Solving Attitude: Analytical thinking and the ability to break down complex problems into manageable sub-tasks.
- Proactivity: When you see a repetitive manual task, your first instinct is to think about how to automate it.
- Eagerness to Learn: You are excited by technological advancement.
- Prior knowledge of 3D software (Maya, UE) is not a requirement, but an affinity and desire to learn these complex systems are essential.
- Communication: Work is primarily conducted in Hungarian, but intermediate English is necessary for documentation and communicating with our international team.
Please note that DIGIC can only work with freelancers who are registered as sole proprietor/entrepreneur or as a self-employed professional!
