What is a CG artist?

CG artists, or computer graphics artists, are professionals who create visual content using digital tools and software. They design and produce 2D and 3D graphics, animations, and visual effects for industries like film, video games, advertising, and architecture. CG artists work with specialized programs such as Maya, Blender, or Photoshop to bring concepts and stories to life. Their work often involves modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering digital assets to achieve realistic or stylized visuals.

What is the difference between Cg Artist vs 3D Modeler?

AspectCg Artist3D Modeler
Primary FocusCreating computer-generated imagery, including textures, lighting, and renderingBuilding and designing 3D models of objects, characters, and environments
Skills & ToolsSoftware like Maya, Blender, 3ds Max, and rendering enginesModeling software such as Maya, Blender, ZBrush, and CAD tools
Work EnvironmentVFX studios, animation houses, game development companiesGame studios, animation studios, product design firms

While both roles involve 3D work, a Cg Artist specializes in creating visual effects and final rendered images, whereas a 3D Modeler focuses on constructing the digital models used in various projects. Understanding these distinctions helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.

How do CG artists typically collaborate with other departments during a production pipeline?

CG Artists often work closely with teams such as animators, modelers, texture artists, and compositors to bring a project to life. They may receive concept art or models from other departments and are responsible for integrating these elements into cohesive, visually compelling scenes. Clear communication and feedback cycles are essential, as CG Artists must ensure their work aligns with the director's vision and technical requirements. Regular team meetings and the use of project management tools help coordinate tasks and track progress throughout the production pipeline.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CG artist?

To thrive as a CG Artist, you need a strong understanding of 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering, often supported by a degree in digital art or a related field. Proficiency in industry-standard software such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, Adobe Creative Suite, and familiarity with rendering engines like V-Ray or Arnold is typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, and effective collaboration skills help CG Artists produce visually compelling work and integrate smoothly within creative teams. These skills and qualities are essential to meet client expectations, deliver high-quality visuals, and succeed in a competitive digital art environment.

Job description

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we partner with creators as they experiment with a range of cutting-edge tools that bridge innovation with imaginative storytelling. Come join Inkubator to shape what's next and explore the creative possibilities.
Position Summary
We are seeking CG Experimental Artists to join our pioneering team creating animated shorts and specials using experimental GenAI-native production pipelines. Working alongside Directors, Producers, and technology teams, this role will help support show-specific workflow and technical needs as we aim to develop feature-quality content in a creator-led environment. Artists on this team will help shape storytelling and visual aesthetics with creative leadership, actively participating in the development of new workflows and technologies as we expand from shorts to longer-form content.
Key Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with a team of CG and Generative AI experts to develop unique content for animated shorts and specials, leveraging a GenAI-native pipeline that combines generative AI tools with traditional animation techniques.
  • Work closely with creative leadership to shape storytelling and visual aesthetics that meet feature-quality standards and align with the creative vision of the Director and project leads.
  • Contribute to the creation of short stories in a fast-paced, sprint-based production environment.
  • Actively participate in creative discussions and brainstorming sessions.
  • Use GenAI tools such as ComfyUI to generate concept frames, style frames, character explorations, and environment designs based on scripts, outlines, or verbal direction.
  • Experiment with and evaluate the latest generative tooling and be open to testing new technology throughout the development process.
  • Create shot-ready assets (e.g., characters, props, environments) using a combination of generative tools and traditional DCCs (Photoshop, Maya, Houdini, Harmony, Blender, etc.).
  • Build and fine-tune generative image and video models.
  • Test and compare multiple generative tools and workflows (e.g., different models, LoRAs, motion tools), document results, and recommend best practices to the team.
  • Help develop and document new GenAI/traditional hybrid workflows, collaborating with production and technology teams to improve efficiency and creative output.

Qualifications
  • Experience with ComfyUI and traditional CG 2D and/or 3D DCCs such as Photoshop, Maya, Houdini, Harmony, and/or Blender.
  • Experience with creating and animating assets (terrains, layout, characters, control-rigs, lighting) within Unreal Engine.
  • Ability to help develop character and visual designs that align with the desired style and sensibility, focusing on character personality, mood, and tone.
  • Strong conceptual understanding of diffusion-based rendering and animation techniques. Experience training image LoRAs, video LoRAs, and similar are a plus.
  • Strong collaborative skills and ability to work in a team environment with Directors, Producers, and technology leads, often in rapidly evolving, experimental pipelines.
  • Passion for storytelling and animation with a portfolio showcasing the ability to create compelling narratives using AI tools. Demonstrates excellence and inspiration in storytelling, visual comedy, and innovative thinking, with a strong understanding of how to leverage generative AI tools to enhance creative storytelling.
  • Ability to adapt to new technologies and tools and quickly pivot in this fast-moving field where workflows and creative approaches are being developed in real time.
  • High level of independence and initiative, as production support structures and workflows will be evolving alongside the creative process.

This job may be covered by a collective bargaining agreement. If so, pay for the position is governed by the currently effective applicable collective bargaining agreement and thus will be no less than $62.74 an hour and up to any better conditions and terms negotiated and obtained as expressly provided therein.
Depending on whether you are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, INK benefits can include medical/dental/vision plans, mental health support, retirement programs, and family-forming benefits, paid leave of absence programs, and paid time away programs to be used for vacation and sick paid time off.
Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates. If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.
We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.
