Job Description :

Freelance RenderMan Plugin Developer

Contract – 2 to 3 months | Remote (EU / UK time zones preferred)

We’re supporting a cutting-edge immersive media company on the development of a new RenderMan plugin that will integrate into a proprietary volumetric imaging system. This is a short-term freelance role with the opportunity to contribute to a technically ambitious product used in high-end film and virtual production.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for building a custom plugin using the RenderMan SDK, enabling support for a volumetric video format that integrates with standard VFX rendering workflows. The plugin will sit within the studio’s rendering pipeline alongside existing integrations with Arnold, V-Ray, and MoonRay.

What You’ll Be Doing

Developing a plugin using the RenderMan C++ SDK
Working on low-level rendering extensions (e.g. camera, output drivers, filters)
Collaborating with a technical team to ensure compatibility with their existing volumetric pipeline
Supporting testing and potential debugging if needed

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience developing with the RenderMan SDK (not just using RenderMan for shading / lighting)

Comfortable creating plugins or extensions such as :

Geometry / shading modules

Strong programming skills in C++

Ideally some Python scripting ability

Up-to-date knowledge of modern RenderMan versions (not legacy only)

Comfortable working independently on focused deliverables

Nice to Have

Experience with other render engines (e.g. Arnold, V-Ray, MoonRay)

Familiarity with Houdini or Maya rendering workflows

Background in VFX, animation, or real-time graphics pipelines

Details

Duration : 2–3 months

Start date : ASAP or within 4 weeks
