3D Architectural Rendering Specialist Intern/Volunteer

Architectural responsibilities: The primary duties of the Architectural Rendering Specialist include independently evaluating, selecting and applying architectural techniques, procedures, and modifications to architectural design and construction documents. Assignments have specified objectives and require the investigation of many variables. Independently performs assignments with only general instruction, as to the results expected.

Visualization Support: Following conception creates in entirety or assists in creating all aspects of mixed media deliverables (3D models, renderings, animations, graphic presentations) under direction of Team Leader, making deadlines which sometimes may be on a tight schedule. Materials may be used internally or externally for marketing or operations, provide understanding of a project for client and stakeholders, and may be at any point of a project’s life (from early marketing endeavors through design development and into post-occupancy.) Everyday work will include 3D modeling and working with existing 3D models, creating custom texture maps, setting up lighting and environments, setting still cameras and animated camera paths, setting up and monitoring rendering and animation frame progress, as well as post-production for both stills and animations. Some work performed may be with others on the team, while other work may be entirely your own from start to finish.
