Company Description

Founded in 1991, Hybride is the first digital visual effects studio in Quebec. For over 30 years, the Hybride team has been reinventing the visual effects industry — one project at a time.

Job Description

At Hybride, you'll bring spectacular worlds to life by designing and creating realistic simulations of visual effects such as fire, smoke, water, hair, cloth, fur, muscles, destruction, and more.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Oversee complex FX simulations — from the initial concept and timing to final cache and render.

  • Collaborate with your Lead or Supervisor to determine the best creative and technical approach for each shot.

  • Work closely with other departments such as Modeling, Animation, and Rigging to ensure seamless integration across the pipeline.

  • Use particle systems, dynamics, expressions, soft and rigid bodies, and cloth simulations to craft high-quality effects.

  • Contribute to the development of tools and scripts that enhance team productivity and efficiency.

  • Learn and apply Hybride's FX standards and tools while mastering our in-house pipeline workflows.

  • Embrace a procedural approach whenever possible to achieve flexible, scalable, and efficient results.

  • Knowledge of crowds simulation (agents, behaviors, etc.) is considered a strong asset.

Qualifications
  • Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in the film or visual effects industry.

  • Highly creative mindset, with the ability to conceptualize and execute complex FX scenes for feature films.

  • Proven experience with simulations of fluids, soft and rigid bodies, hair, cloth, fur, and muscles.

  • Expert knowledge of Houdini is essential.

  • Experience with machine learning is a strong asset.

  • Familiarity with Arnold is an asset.

  • Solid programming skills (Python, etc.) — a definite plus.

  • Strong problem-solving abilities and a keen eye for detail.

  • Autonomous, resourceful, and proactive, with excellent collaboration skills.

Additional Information

Our passion for innovation and our team's creativity are recognized throughout the industry and remain the cornerstone of our work philosophy. Our team is made up of more than 200 highly skilled artists and creators working from two state-of-the-art studios — one in Piedmont, in the Laurentians, and the other in Montreal's vibrant Mile-End district.

Our portfolio includes prestigious titles such as 300, Avatar, The Hunger Games, and Jurassic World, as well as all six of the latest Star Wars films and Disney+'s acclaimed series The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor.

Above all, we are good human beings who value empathy, well-being, and solidarity.

At Hybride, you are welcome exactly as you are. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where everyone feels they belong.
