What You’ll Be Doing
- As a Senior 3D Artist, you’ll be a creative leader in bringing our VR career simulations to life. You’ll work closely with the team to:
- Create a wide range of high-quality, lifelike 3D assets for our VR simulations, including characters, environments, and props.
- Become a performance wizard, expertly optimizing polygon counts, textures, and shaders to ensure everything runs smoothly on Standalone VR Devices.
- Create smooth, realistic animations for objects and characters to enhance the feeling of immersion.
- Collaborate with our designers and engineers to solve technical challenges and ensure your art works perfectly within the simulation.
- Champion the overall visual style, applying high-quality textures and lighting to bring your models to life while keeping everything consistent.
What We’re Looking For
- Solid Experience: At least 4–5 years of experience as a 3D Artist, ideally in game development or working with modern game engines.
- An Awesome Portfolio: A strong portfolio that showcases your ability to create immersive, optimized, VR-ready assets.
- The Right Tools: Proficiency with tools like Maya, Blender, Photoshop, Substance Painter, and Character Creator.
- Deep Experience in Unity: A strong understanding of the Unity engine is vital. You should be comfortable integrating assets, working with materials, and understanding the rendering pipeline.
- Technical Art Skills: You\'re not afraid to get technical. The ability to create shaders and a strong grasp of technical art workflows will be highly valued.
- VR Know-How: A solid grasp of game development workflows and the unique challenges of creating for VR. Specific experience developing for Standalone Devices is a huge plus.
- Confident Ownership: You\'re a confident decision-maker who can own your work from start to finish. In our small team, you\'ll have the autonomy to lean on your expertise, especially when the Art Director isn\u2019t available.
- Great Communication: You’re a clear communicator who enjoys collaborating. We use Slack to keep in sync, so you\'ll be comfortable sharing progress and ideas there.
- A Habit of Documenting: You believe in documenting your process and sharing what you learn. We use Confluence to keep our knowledge organised, and you’ll play a big part in building that resource.
