What DNEG Looks for in Your Portfolio
Matte Painting
Show photorealistic, film-quality matte paintings that integrate seamlessly with live-action footage. DNEG works on major blockbusters, so demonstrate your ability to match complex lighting scenarios and extend environments convincingly.
Environment and LookDev TD
Include procedural environment work, Houdini or Maya-based scene assembly, and physically-based lookdev in Katana or Arnold. DNEG relies on sophisticated pipeline tools, so technical depth alongside artistry is expected.
Rigging and Creature TD
Show character and creature rigs with complex deformations, muscle sim, cloth sim, and CFX setups. DNEG works on hero characters in feature films, so your rigs need to hold up to extreme close-up scrutiny.
Animation
Film-quality performance animation with strong weight, timing, and secondary motion. Include a demo reel with a clear progression from reference to final polished shots. Facial animation is a strong differentiator.
