Unreal technical artist - Previz

DIVE INTO MOMENT FACTORY’S UNIVERSE

We come from many different places, but what unites us is our passion. At Moment Factory, each new project is a blank page awaiting the creativity and talent of our whole team, no matter the individual responsibilities, roles, or fields. Our desire to innovate, to take risks, and to learn from our mistakes and from each other is what allows us to create collective projects that go above and beyond. Today, thanks to a team of 450 creative minds, we have been able to create immersive multimedia environments for artists, museums, airports, brands, theme parks and events, as well as our signature shows. No matter the canvas – be it film, lighting, multimedia architecture, sound design, special effects, or interactive projects – the thirst for experimentation and innovation is at the core of our DNA.

YOUR TEAM

As part of Moment Factory’s Centre of Expertise, you’ll join the Technical Artists and Real-Time Creative Developers team. Blending artistic creativity with technological precision, our multidisciplinary team of Unity, Unreal Engine, and TouchDesigner experts drives the creation of our immersive, interactive real-time visual experiences. Everyone on the team plays an active role in developing their technology, sharing knowledge, and improving production tools.

In this role, you’ll also work at the heart of our internal Simulation initiative. You’ll collaborate closely with the dedicated team behind this initiative, including developers, architects, and technical artists, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of our Unreal Engine-based platform.

YOUR MISSION

As a 3D Technical Artist – Previs, you’ll join the Centre of Expertise and work exclusively on Simulation, our internal project previsualization service. This initiative enables our teams and clients to visualize projects at scale and in the most realistic context possible, using an internal platform developed with Unreal Engine.

Combining technical versatility with a strong artistic eye, you’ll work across a broad range of responsibilities, from assembling and updating real-time digital twins to producing high-quality visual outputs, including images, videos, and panoramas.

Working at the heart of Moment Factory, supporting our projects and collaborating with developers, technicians, and artists, you’ll contribute to the continuous improvement of the platform and the quality of the deliverables under your responsibility. You’ll need to adapt quickly to technical challenges while ensuring that your visualizations remain faithful to the final project.
