Environment Generalist TDs at DNEG are passionate about collaborating and problem solving to create and compose spectacular photorealistic environments on our highest calibre feature film projects. Our environment artists work within a global, supportive and multi-talented team altering and extending environments in live action plates or designing, composing and rendering environments from the smallest blade of grass to entire galaxies.
