Automate repetitive tasks and create custom tools using Python. This area focuses on scripting for various DCC tools, batch processing, and workflow optimization.

Create plugins, extensions, and custom tools for Digital Content Creation software like Maya, Houdini, and Nuke. This involves deep understanding of APIs and SDKs provided by these applications.

Develop tools that streamline the production pipeline, manage assets, and facilitate collaboration between different departments in VFX and animation studios.

Work on optimizing render farms, developing custom shaders, and creating tools for post-processing rendered images to achieve the final look.

Create real-time rendering solutions for previsualization, virtual production, and interactive experiences. This often involves working with game engines like Unreal or Unity.

Develop advanced rendering algorithms and shading techniques to achieve photorealistic or stylized visuals. This area requires strong knowledge of computer graphics and mathematics.

Implement machine learning algorithms for tasks like facial animation, crowd simulation, or intelligent scene composition. This cutting-edge field is increasingly important in modern VFX pipelines.

Create high-performance tools and core engine features using C++. This is crucial for developing renderer cores, physics simulations, and other computationally intensive tasks in VFX.
