Senior 3D Generalist / Tech Artist

We\’re looking for a Senior 3D Generalist / Tech-Artist to champion art production on a fun and vibrant co-op game. This is for a 6 month contract.

Key Responsibilities

1 – Create game-ready art

Working from high level art direction you\’ll be touching the majority of art assets and all aspects of the art pipeline; characters, environments, props, modular kit pieces and procedural art etc.

Success looks like:

• Understanding our art ethos and working autonomously with high level direction
• Grasping our studio art style and adapting quickly
• Rapid output by focusing on getting the core elements right rather than superficial details
• Expressing the humour and character of our games with your art

2 – Be a force multiplier, not just an asset maker

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

Success looks like:

• Collaborating closely with design & engineering because art is systemic, not static
• Joining playtests and contributing to decisions 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

3 – Own integration & workflow inside engine

You\’ll own how assets live in-engine and how pipelines scale

Success looks like:

• Implementing and hooking up assets in engine end-to-end
• Building practical systems (modular kits, materials, prefabs, folder structure & naming conventions etc)
• Spotting inefficiencies and offering better solutions
• Keeping scenes performant without sacrificing the game\’s vision

Requirements

• Senior level skill & experience. Comfortable working autonomously with high level direction, championing your area of responsibility
• Able to build real-time procedural / destructible / dynamic materials and meshes in engine
• Broad artistic & technical skillset: Characters, Environments & Props
• Proficient with Unity; asset implementation, lighting, shaders & materials etc
• Comfortable in Blender (preferred) or able to transition quickly
• Happy to prioritize speed & efficiency over polish: e.g using Unity store assets where it makes sense (model packs, VFX, shaders, tools etc.) instead of building everything from scratch
• ‘Good enough\’ mindset: Our games look good but we\’re not here to win art awards or build stunning portfolio pieces. The experience is king
• Understanding of supporting optimization and performance for online multiplayer titles (from a technical art POV)
