Environment / CGI Artist at Mira

MIRA


(https://mira.world/) is a one-of-its-kind photorealistic multiplayer social VR platform built to host and aggregate creators’ content, providing them with seamless integration, navigation, avatars, tokenization, and social layers along with a high-quality rendering unmatched by other platforms. Powering the creators with the highest visual standards, Mira is designed to be the reference for emblematic universes such as culture, entertainment, tourism, sport, luxury/fashion, and real estate.

With growing demand from clients and creators, and continued support from Epic Games, Verizon, Nvidia, and Facebook, the next 2 years are dedicated to the empowerment of creators’ content based on the decentralization of Mira’s world and the introduction of Blockchain-based capabilities and tokenized assets on the platform (Land sales & rent, NFTs, Marketplace, Play-to- Earn, …).

Mira is based in Paris and New York, with a team of 15 developers, CGI artists, and World designers.

Join our CGI to help build and grow our high-end photorealistic platform using Unreal Engine.
