Job description

We are looking for a passionate and experienced 3D artist to join our team working on Captain of Industry.

What you can expect

• Work as a freelancer with the potential to convert into a full-time position for candidates interested and available to commit time to our project
• Create animated game-ready models and textures of factory equipment, vehicles, chemical plants, ships, and buildings.
• Enhance current models and textures to continually advance the game's visual appeal.

What we offer

• Ability to influence and enhance the look and feel of Captain of Industry
• Ability to influence the development of the game with your ideas and suggestions

• Satisfaction of working on a game with a wonderful and growing community

Skills & Requirements

• Have several years of gaming industry experience in modeling and texturing.
• Provide us with your portfolio showcasing your game-ready modeling and texturing work (albedo, normals, specular/metallic).
• Be open to feedback and pay attention to details so we can collaborate smoothly.
• Be open to prototyping multiple ideas quickly and be able to change direction on the go.
• Be creative. We don’t have a concept artist, all you get is our vision, and it can often be blurry :)
• Put importance on immersion and realism.
• Communicate in English with us and our dev team.
• Collaborate with other 3D artists if necessary.
• You are an independent individual, not affiliated with a studio or vendor.

Models requirements

• Game-ready 3D models
• Leverage techniques to reduce vertex count
• LODs and especially creating models with LODs already in mind
• Animations - key-frame, morph, bones.
• Format: FBX that imports correctly to Unity, including animations.

Textures

• Proficiency in texturing is crucial for this role. We highly value detailed texturing work, so expertise in this area is advantageous. You should be familiar with tools like Substance.
• Realistic textures that fit the style of our game, approx. 64 px per meter.
• Pre-baked AO in the albedo texture.
• Normal map with meaningful features that can deliver more details than vertices allow.
• Specular/metallic map with meaningful features that look realistic.
• Emissive textures

Terrain & Vegetation

• [Optional] Experience with trees, vegetation, and terrain textures is a big plus but not strictly necessary.

How to Apply

Interested in this role? Email [e-mail] with your details, experience summary, the software you use, and most importantly, your portfolio. Please note that applications without game-ready models and texturing portfolio will not be considered.
