I have a VFX sequence that still feels CG and I need a skilled artist to push it all the way to photo-real. The brief is straightforward: polish every surface, balance the light, and grade the final frames so they sit naturally next to live-action plates. The look must be realistic, so your work on textures and materials, the way light wraps and casts convincing shadows, and the subtle colour grading that ties everything together are equally critical to me. Here’s what I’m expecting from you: • A fully developed lookdev setup with calibrated textures and physically-based materials. • A production-ready lighting rig that can be reused across shots, with key, fill, rim and environment contributions clearly organised. • Final renders (beauty and all relevant AOVs) plus a graded reference that demonstrates how the mood should read in comp. You can choose the DCC that best suits you—Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift, or similar—as long as the end result matches the plate and can be broken out for compositing. Please include a short note on your workflow when you apply so I can be sure our pipelines align.
