Houdini Jobs

Overview I’m hiring a CG animator / motion designer to create a short, premium animation using nighttime satellite imagery as the visual base. The concept: we show how growth has expanded in mega regions on the East Coast, the West Coast, and now in Texas by animating city lights merging along major throughfares and cities. The aim is to communicate that Texas is the next chapter in that growthVisual References / Base Assets I will provide the base satellite night images (examples attached): East Coast night lights West Coast night lights Texas night lights Core Animation Idea (What needs to happen visually) We want the lights to feel like economic/people/activity growth: EAST COAST (5–8 sec) Start with visible city clusters (lights). Lights intensify, spread outward, and conne...

I’m putting together an entertainment-focused piece and need a talented 3D artist who can deliver a fully realistic animation set in an outdoor, nature-based environment. Think authentic lighting, lifelike textures, and camera work that feels as though it was captured on location. The final sequence will be integrated into a larger media project, so seamless realism is critical. Here’s the flow I’m envisioning: once we lock a short brief and rough storyboard, you’ll develop the environment, populate it with believable foliage, terrain, and natural FX (wind, water, subtle wildlife movement), then animate the camera and key objects or characters to match the story beats. I’m happy for you to work in Blender, Maya, Houdini, Unreal Engine, or whichever pipeline y...

A short live-action sequence needs to be amped up with believable destruction. I already have the 4K footage and clean plates; what’s missing is the energy of fireballs, shock-wave debris, and general mayhem seamlessly blended into the scene. This is a straight compositing job—no need to build new 3D assets unless you prefer to generate custom elements for realism. The plates are camera-tracked and supplied as EXR and ProRes files. I’ll send you reference clips and a timing sheet so you know exactly when each explosion blooms and where the flying particles should drift. Use whatever you’re most comfortable with—After Effects, Nuke, Fusion, or a Houdini render—so long as the final shot feels grounded in our real environment, with accurate lighting, shado...

I need a short, high-impact animation that clearly shows how a gas leak propagates through space, ready to drop straight into a research presentation. The visual must feel realistic—think physically-based shading, believable particle motion, and camera angles that would fit seamlessly beside CFD stills or lab footage. What matters most is the flow direction. I want viewers to grasp, at a glance, where the plume originates, how it curls around obstacles, and the pathways it follows in open air. You are free to use your preferred tools—Houdini, Blender, ParaView, or any CFD-to-3D pipeline—so long as the final render convincingly depicts real-world behavior. Deliverables • 20–60 second 1080p (or higher) MP4 showing the complete sequence • Still ...
