3D Artist (Characters + Environment)

💥 VACANCY 3D Artist 💥 📍 Belarus, remote

We are looking for a talented 3D Artist (Characters + Environment) to work on a narrative bar simulator.

About the project: This is a story-driven bar management simulator set in an alternative 1930s Chicago. You manage an underground bar hidden behind a flower shop, mix cocktails from retro-futuristic ingredients (yes, radium vodka is fine), interact with patrons, and gradually uncover the dark story of a world on the brink of nuclear catastrophe.

Responsibilities:

• Create 3D character models for the game.
• Develop character designs in collaboration with the game designer and artists.
• Model characters considering the game project requirements.
• Create clothing, accessories, and additional character elements.
• Prepare models for further rigging/skinning and animation.
• Create character variations based on a common base.
• Ensure characters adhere to the overall visual style of the project.

Requirements:

• Commercial experience as a 3D Artist / 3D Modeler for at least 2 years.
• Proficient in one of the main 3D packages: Blender / 3ds Max / Maya.
• Experience with Substance 3D Painter / Designer.
• Experience creating game-ready 3D models.
• Understanding of topology, UVs, materials, and texturing.
• Understanding of requirements for models in real-time graphics.
• Ability to work from references and independently find visual solutions.
• Ability to maintain a consistent project style.
• Experience with rigging / skinning / basic character setup.

Will be a plus:

• Experience with Unity.
• Experience creating modular environment systems.
• Experience with ZBrush.
• Experience optimizing scenes and assets for PC.
• Experience creating stylized or realistic characters and environments.

We need a person who can take references and concepts and turn them into ready-to-use game 3D assets.

Work format: Small team, so the 3D Artist will directly interact with the game designer, developer, and other project participants and will be able to significantly influence the visual appearance of the game. We value independence, initiative, and interest in creating a world from scratch.
