Visualizer (Mérida)
Position Overview:
The Visualizer is a specialist who translates interior design drawings, plans and moodboards into high-resolution 3D images, animations, and real-time walkthroughs that communicate the look, materials, lighting and spatial experience of a design before it’s built. Visualizers combine strong design/lighting sense with technical 3D modeling, texturing, and rendering skills to produce photorealistic or stylized visuals used for client approvals, presentations, and marketing.
Responsibilities
Convert floor plans, elevations, sketches, and material specs into accurate 3D models of interior spaces.
Create photorealistic still renders and/or stylized visuals that showcase materials, lighting, furniture, and finishes to client/marketing standards.
Produce client-ready presentation deliverables: high-res images, stereo/VR panoramas, flythrough animations, and real-time scenes as required.
Light, texture, and shading setup to accurately represent materials (fabric, stone, metal, wood), using layered textures and PBR workflows.
Post-production: color grading, compositing, and final touch-ups using Photoshop / After Effects.
Collaborate with interior designers, architects, and project orchestrators to meet briefs, iterate quickly, and integrate feedback.
Maintain an organized scene library (furniture, props, material maps/textures) and optimize scenes for render speed without sacrificing quality.
