What They Look for in Your Portfolio
🏾 Character Artists
Flying Bark’s character work is high-detail 3D in Maya. Show clean topology, expressive sculpts in ZBrush, and production-ready texture work in Substance. Their Netflix shows are aimed at a broad animated audience, so range and appeal matter as much as technical precision.
💡 CG Lighting Artists
Show Arnold lighting experience with CG character and environment shots. Flying Bark’s look is warm and cinematic. Demonstrate ability to match a show’s established lighting palette, not just general lighting skill.
🌐 Surfacing Artists
Show Substance 3D Painter and Designer work for characters and hard surface assets. Flying Bark uses a stylized-realism pipeline. Their Dragon Knight work blends soft organic forms with expressive color.
🏾 Animators
Show character performance, not just technical range. Their shows require appeal and expressiveness. Include dialogue animation, walk cycles, and interaction with other characters. Arnold-rendered turntables are expected at this studio level.
