Swaybox Studios is seeking a CG Generalist Supervisor to spearhead and support the CG and Maya needs of our VFX team. This role is hands-on and highly collaborative, requiring technical excellence and creative problem-solving to help bring complex visual effects to life—from CG characters and environments to set extensions and digital matte painting (DMP) projections.

As a CG Generalist Supervisor, you will provide support in early R&D, guide visual development setups, assist with troubleshooting artist files, and participate in broader production efforts, including bidding and recruiting. Your expertise will help shape and refine the technical pipeline while fostering a collaborative and efficient team environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and support all Maya/CG-related work across VFX production.
• Contribute to the creation of CG characters, environments, set extensions, and DMP projection techniques.
• Troubleshoot artist files and step into shot work when needed.
• Collaborate in R&D and early visual development before full production rollout.
• Support the development and implementation of tools in collaboration with TDs and Pipeline TDs.
• Participate in recruitment, bidding sessions, and progress reviews with the VFX Supervisor and Production.
• Ensure an efficient, flexible, and artist-friendly pipeline.

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in high-end film or episodic VFX production.
• Expert knowledge of Maya and Arnold (or equivalent production renderers).
• Previous leadership or supervisor experience within a VFX or animation team.
• Strong understanding of CG modeling, rigging, texturing, tracking, and lighting workflows.
• Proven ability to collaborate with supervisors, artists, and production teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Traditional art background or fine arts education.
• Experience with look development, DMP, and the compositing process (especially in Nuke).
• Familiarity with scripting or tool development (e.g., Python, MEL) to support pipeline enhancements.
• Experience working across both stylized and photorealistic CG projects.
• Knowledge of Unreal Engine or other real-time workflows is a plus.
