3D Character Artist

Job Description

Looking for a 3D Character Artist to help us work on a new, original game!

Who do we want

We’re looking for a Character Artist who can create vibrant and clean character assets for a 3rd

person, non-violent MMO. You’ll be responsible for creating models and materials for player

characters, their clothing, NPCs, wildlife, and creatures for a cozy, stylized, multiplayer game.

This is a 4-6 month contract position.

Responsibilities:

● Authoring character models for customizable avatars, clothing, NPCs, and creatures

both mundane and imaginative

● Collaborating with Art Direction to work on cel-shaded, non-PBR assets.

● Implementing your asset into Unreal Engine 5 and following file organization conventions

while creating assets.

● Working with Art Lead to help identify necessary workflow and pipeline improvements.

● Working with Animators and developers on a relatively small team to make sure that

content is optimized for performance on multiple platforms (including Mobile)

● Communicating decisions and tradeoffs to the rest of the team

Qualifications:

● A 3D portfolio that demonstrates both a strong understanding of fundamentals of human

and creature anatomy and how to stylize it, as well a sense of cuteness and appeal in

silhouettes and proportions.

● A willingness to work with texturing techniques not standard to the industry.

● Experience balancing the tradeoff between asset detail and breadth of content.

● Proficiency with authoring and working with Unreal materials

● Prior experience with other aspects of the Unreal character art pipeline (skeletal meshes,

third person characters, etc.)

Pay Rate Range:

$70-100/hr
