They work closely with modelers and animators to ensure characters can move realistically and expressively. This role requires a strong understanding of anatomy, movement, and specialized software like Maya or Blender.

Balancing efficiency with the complexity of rigs and responding to feedback from multiple departments can require strong problem-solving skills and adaptability. Regular meetings and iterative feedback help align team goals and maintain workflow efficiency.

Position Summary
Edgewood Properties is building something people want to live in - and this role is about making sure they can see it before it exists. The Architectural Visualization Artist transforms architectural plans, Revit/BIM models, and design concepts into photo-realistic renderings, animations, and interactive visual presentations that bring projects to life for ownership, stakeholders, and the public.
This is a creative and technical role that sits at the intersection of architecture, design, and visual storytelling. The right candidate has a sharp eye for light, composition, and realism, and understands enough about how buildings are actually designed and built to get the details right. The team here moves fast across a broad portfolio of luxury residential and commercial projects - the work is varied, the quality bar is high, and there's real room to grow. A strong portfolio is required.
