"Houdini artist" covers six different careers. We match every role to the part of Houdini the person will actually work in.
Destruction, fire, water and cloth for hero shots and long sequences.
People who build the digital assets the rest of the team relies on.
Solaris-native lighters and look dev artists working in USD.
Muscle, groom and cloth for creatures and digital doubles.
Wedging, farm orchestration and the glue between departments.
Procedural worlds and FX that ship inside a game engine.
The toolsets our candidates ship with
How it works
Thirty minutes with your supervisor about the shots, the pipeline and the gaps.
A written spec naming solvers, contexts and seniority, so candidates know the real job.
Three to five screened candidates with reel notes, rates and visa status.
We handle negotiation and notice. Free replacement if the hire leaves within 90 days.
How we vet
Candidates walk us through a .hip file. We look at network organisation, caching strategy and whether the setup would survive client notes.
Then a working TD in the same discipline runs a 45-minute technical conversation. No whiteboard puzzles. Every shortlisted profile comes with shot-by-shot notes on what the candidate built themselves.
