  • Ensure assets are optimized for target platforms.
  • Mentor and ensure consistent style and quality by working with external partners and the internal team.
  • Troubleshoot and problem-solve as needed.

Requirements

  • A love of narrative-based games and a passion for environmental storytelling.
  • Proactive attitude, high self-motivation, great communication skills, and ability to self-organize for remote work.

  • High level of written and spoken English.
  • Portfolio demonstrating strong examples of 3D modeling and texturing (realistic assets only), PBR material pipelines, modular asset construction and world-building, good understanding of color and composition, strong lighting skills (especially with Lumen), and examples of workflow stages.
