What are Contract Architectural Visualization Artists?

Contract Architectural Visualization Artists are professionals who create visual representations of architectural designs on a freelance or project basis. They use digital tools and software to produce realistic renderings, animations, or walkthroughs that help architects, developers, and clients visualize buildings and spaces before they are constructed. Their work is essential for communicating design concepts, marketing real estate, and aiding in project approvals. As contract workers, they typically take on projects for various clients rather than working for a single employer.

How does a Contract Architectural Visualization Artist typically collaborate with architects and design teams during a project?

As a Contract Architectural Visualization Artist, you will often work closely with architects, interior designers, and project managers to translate conceptual designs and technical drawings into photorealistic renderings or animations. Collaboration usually involves regular meetings to review drafts, provide updates, and incorporate feedback on design intent, materials, and lighting. Clear communication and the ability to interpret design briefs are essential, as you'll be expected to quickly adjust visualizations based on evolving project requirements. This role often requires managing multiple projects simultaneously and adapting to different design styles according to each client’s needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Contract Architectural Visualization Artist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Contract Architectural Visualization Artist, you need strong skills in 3D modeling, rendering, and a solid understanding of architectural concepts, often supported by a degree in architecture, design, or related fields. Mastery of industry-standard software like 3ds Max, SketchUp, V-Ray, and Adobe Creative Suite is typically required, along with a portfolio demonstrating high-quality visualizations. Attention to detail, creativity, time management, and clear communication are important soft skills that help deliver client visions efficiently. These skills ensure visually compelling, accurate representations that meet client expectations and deadlines in a competitive field.

Full-time

Posted 12 days ago

Job description

Lead Real-Time Artist
Department: Imerza
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Imerza
Compensation: $100,000 - $120,000 / year
Description
Compensation: $100,000 to $120,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
Imerza is a digital twin and architectural visualization studio built on Unreal Engine 5. As Epic Games' official US partner studio for Digital Twins, we work with developers, architects, and destination brands on some of the largest and most complex real-time environments in production today. Our work spans gigaproject-scale development programs, hospitality and mixed-use digital twins, and high-end sales center experiences.
This is a leadership role that requires hands-on production. You will split your time roughly equally between building and leading. That balance is intentional and permanent, not a transitional phase. You will lead a studio of 3 to 4 artists across concurrent real-time production projects, own quality from brief through delivery, and stay technically engaged through pre-production, pipeline work, and R&D.
Key Responsibilities
What You'll Do:
  • Lead a studio of 3 to 4 artists across concurrent real-time production projects
  • Build alongside your team; you are a producing lead, not a pure manager
  • Own studio-level QA as the final gate before work advances, applying consistent standards across frame rate targets, asset budgets, naming conventions, and visual quality
  • Lead project kickoffs and distribute production context and knowledge across the team so it does not rest with any single person
  • Actively reduce specialist dependencies so studio output is not contingent on any one individual
  • Lead pre-production technical setup to define approach and visual language on new projects
  • Contribute UE5 pipeline improvements in collaboration with Principal Artists and the wider department
  • Mentor artists and provide direct, constructive performance feedback and career development support
  • Represent your studio's work in client and stakeholder contexts as that responsibility evolves
  • Recommend on hiring decisions and performance outcomes for studio personnel
  • Work within an art budget defined in collaboration with Production

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
What We're Looking For
  • 8+ years of professional 3D production experience
  • Proven experience managing and developing artist teams, required
  • Expert working knowledge of Unreal Engine 5: Lumen, Nanite, PCG, and real-time rendering pipelines
  • Solid understanding of BIM/CAD-to-UE5 pipelines: Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp via Datasmith
  • Awareness of Pixel Streaming and its implications for real-time art production decisions
  • Familiarity with digital twin concepts and how real-time art decisions affect downstream data pipelines and platform performance
  • Architectural visualization or architecture background strongly preferred; familiarity with architectural scale, construction documentation, and FF&E is a genuine advantage
  • Perforce required; Jira or equivalent project tracking
  • Proficiency in 3ds Max and/or Blender; Houdini and Substance beneficial

Portfolio Requirements
  • Submit a real-time walkthrough reel demonstrating interactive environments; pre-rendered video or still imagery will not be accepted as substitutes
  • Include project-level context for each piece: your specific role, the scale of the project, and the production constraints you were working within
  • Before submitting, review our work at Imerza.com

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. This position is based in Sarasota, FL. Candidates who can work onsite or are willing to relocate are strongly preferred. Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.
Imerza is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status. Imerza is a participant in E-Verify.
