Job description

We are looking for an experienced 3D Environment Artist to work on a third-person game where players view their character and the surrounding environment from a relatively distant camera perspective.

The project primarily focuses on corridor-based levels and indoor environments, where players progress through rooms, hallways, and other enclosed spaces.

The main responsibilities include creating new content and optimizing existing assets.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of professional experience as a 3D Environment Artist.
• Strong Hard Surface and Organic modeling skills.
• Proficiency in at least one 3D software package: Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender.
• Proficiency in Substance 3D Painter and Photoshop.
• Solid understanding of the complete Game-Ready asset creation pipeline: High Poly, Low Poly, UV Mapping, Baking, and Texturing.
• Good understanding of composition, shape, color, scale, and visual hierarchy.
• Experience creating modular architecture, particularly for indoor environments and corridor-based levels.
• Understanding of environment art principles for third-person games, where asset readability at medium and long distances is important.
• Knowledge of game asset optimization techniques.
• Ability to work independently with concepts and references while following the established Art Direction

Responsibilities:

• Create game environments, including interior architecture, corridors, rooms, structural elements, furniture, and various props.
• Create Mid Poly and Low Poly models according to the project’s technical and artistic requirements.
• Create UV layouts, bake texture maps, and produce PBR textures.
• Develop modular asset kits for efficient construction of indoor environments.
• Work with Tileable Textures, Trim Sheets, Texture Atlases, and other optimization techniques.
• Ensure clear and readable silhouettes, proportions, and details of assets when viewed from a distant in-game camera.
• Work with composition, scale, and visual hierarchy within confined indoor spaces.
• Optimize geometry, textures, and materials according to the technical requirements of the game engine (Unity).
• Integrate and configure assets in Unity.

Would be a plus:

• Experience working on Third-Person, Simulation, Life-Sim, or Isometric games.
• Experience creating corridor-based levels and detailed indoor environments.
• Experience with Unreal Engine or Unity.
• Skills in building cohesive and visually appealing game environments.
• Basic understanding of lighting and the principles of creating visually appealing environments.
• Experience creating stylized environments.
