Responsibilities

• Create high-quality 3D environment art, props, modular assets, materials, set dressing, and world-building content across a variety of visual styles.
• Work from concept art, reference, style guides, blockouts, client direction, or incomplete/vague creative briefs to produce clear and polished results.
• Build, assemble, and integrate assets and environments in Unreal Engine, with attention to composition, readability, performance, and technical requirements.
• Support the full environment art pipeline, including modeling, UVs, baking, texturing, material creation, optimization, engine integration, and final polish.
• Review artwork from internal teammates, partner studios, or external vendors and provide clear, constructive, actionable feedback.
• Help translate broad client or project feedback into specific tasks, priorities, notes, and acceptance criteria that artists can execute against.
• Assist with maintaining visual consistency across assets, scenes, and artists by helping define quality bars, style expectations, and review standards.
• Collaborate with art directors, leads, producers, technical artists, designers, engineers, and artists across multiple studios and time zones.
• Help identify production risks early, including unclear direction, workflow gaps, quality issues, technical constraints, or schedule concerns.
• Contribute to workflow and pipeline improvements that help the team work more efficiently and consistently.
• Document processes, best practices, feedback, and workflow guidance when needed using tools such as Confluence, Miro, or Jira.
• Balance visual quality, production efficiency, and performance requirements while supporting the needs of each project.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience as a 3D Environment Artist, Generalist, World Artist, or similar role in games or real-time production.
• At least one shipped game or comparable real-time interactive project.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality environment art, world building, prop creation, materials, and/or scene assembly.
• Strong artistic eye for form, composition, lighting, material definition, scale, visual hierarchy, and style consistency.
• Ability to work across different visual styles, from realistic to stylized, depending on project needs.
• Experience creating both individual assets and assembled environments/scenes.
• Solid understanding of the full environment art pipeline, including modeling, UV layout, baking, texturing, materials, optimization, and engine implementation.
• Professional experience with Unreal Engine.
• Proficiency with common production tools such as Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Photoshop.
• Practical understanding of real-time performance considerations, including LODs, draw calls, texel density, texture memory, collision, lightmaps, shaders/material complexity, scene organization, and asset budgets.
• Strong communication skills, especially when giving feedback, clarifying direction, documenting decisions, or breaking down complex problems.
• Ability to take vague or high-level direction and turn it into clear, actionable work.
• Comfortable collaborating with artists, leads, producers, and cross-discipline partners.
• Able to give and receive feedback professionally, clearly, and constructively.
• Strong ownership, follow-through, and problem-solving ability.
• Interest in growing into broader leadership responsibilities over time.
