THE OPPORTUNITY

Come make something brand new with us! 

Unknown Worlds is seeking an accomplished 3D Environment Artist to help us visualize new game ideas from conception to release. Ideal candidates possess an eye for stylized art and a broad 3D skillset that ranges from hard surfaces to organics and environments to hero props.

• Work with Engineering and Tech Art to ensure that Art meets the performance targets and budgets.
• Assist with integration of art assets into the game.
• Playtest with the team and assess the role of game visuals as a holistic part of the player experience.

Qualifications

• 5+ years experience as a 3D artist in the games industry having shipped at least one title.
• High level of proficiency with Max, Maya or Blender, Z-Brush, Substance Designer & Painter, or an industry-standard equivalent.
• Skilled at authoring materials and shaders.
• Strong traditional drawing/painting or sculpting skills with a portfolio that showcases a range of stylized assets.
• Strong verbal and written communication.
• Self-starting, organized and highly motivated.
• Desire to contribute creatively to the development of our games outside of art.
• Comfortable working with a completely remote team.

Preferences

• Experience with Unreal Engine 5.
• Experience with multiplatform development including console.
• Experience with other art subdisciplines (concepting, animation, lighting, rigging, VFX).
