3D Artist (Characters + Environment)

💥 VACANCY 3D Artist 💥 📍 RB, 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, prepare cocktails from retro-futuristic ingredients (yes, radium vodka is fine), interact with patrons, and gradually uncover the dark history of a world on the brink of nuclear catastrophe.

Responsibilities

• Create 3D character models for the game.
• Develop character appearances in collaboration with the game designer and artists.
• Model characters according to the requirements of the game project.
• 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 model requirements for realtime graphics.
• Ability to work with references and independently find visual solutions.
• Ability to maintain a consistent project style.
• Experience with rigging / skinning / basic character setup.

Bonus points

• 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 a finished in-game 3D asset.

Work format

A small team, so the 3D Artist will directly interact with the game designer, developer, and other project members and will be able to significantly influence the visual appearance of the game. We value independence, initiative, and interest in building a world from scratch.
