Senior 3D Generalist Artist

We're looking for a Senior 3D Generalist Artist to work on a Simulation Game. You'll work closely with a small, multidisciplinary team to build imaginative and replayable simulation games that serve a distinct genre audience and connect with players.

• Understanding our art ethos and working autonomously with high level direction
• Grasping the project art style and adapting quickly
• Understanding how to construct modular environments and working to a grid
• Rapid output by focusing on getting the core elements right rather than superficial details

There's more to it than just creating assets, it's about being an invaluable team member.

• Communicating and collaborating with the team. Nurturing the synergy between disciplines and problem solving the gaps in-between
• Joining playtests and contributing to the game experience beyond art
• Identifying risks and constraints early and redirecting effort when needed
• Being pro-active and moving the project forward, even if you're waiting for feedback or currently blocked, you know how to identify meaningful work to keep momentum

You're not just handing off art assets, you're implementing them in-engine.

• Importing, setting up and hooking up assets
• Correctly handling setup for materials, prefabs, folders and naming etc
• Fixing materials, collision and general art bugs in engine
• Spotting inefficiencies and offering better solutions
• Keeping assets and scenes well optimized without sacrificing the game's vision

• Broad artistic & technical skillset:
  Environments, props, characters / creatures.
• Confident in Unreal Engine; asset implementation and fixing art bugs.
• Happy to prioritize speed & efficiency.
• Project first mindset:
  Our games look good but we're not trying to win art awards or build stunning portfolio pieces. The experience is king.

• Bonus skills
