What They Look for in Your Portfolio

🏾 CG Animators

Rising Sun Pictures animation work is feature-film quality creature and character animation. Show breakdowns of specific shots on named productions. Demonstrate creature performance, simulation integration, and polish. They rarely hire below senior level.

✨ FX Artists (Houdini)

Show complex Houdini simulations integrated into feature-film environments. Include shot breakdowns showing your specific contribution. Crowd simulation experience is a plus given their dedicated Senior FX Crowd role. Production pipeline knowledge is as important as simulation skill.

🎤 Rigging Artists

Feature-film rigging at this level requires deformation quality, muscle/skin simulation understanding, and pipeline tool experience. Include rigged character turntables and deformation tests. Python scripting for rig tooling is expected at senior level.

🔗 Look Development Artists

RSP uses Katana and Arnold for lookdev. Show material authoring, lighting integration, and the ability to match real-world photographic references. Include examples from feature VFX, not just personal renders.
