Preserve existing UV information and generate new UVs as needed after fragmenting the geometry.

Set up objects for real-time destructibility using PhysX Physics and Destruction.

Placement and creation of particles for destructible objects and other effects.

Ensure that dynamic effects run within established game-engine operating parameters, and scaling level of detail as needed to accomplish this.

Implement physics simulations into Unreal Engine using Blueprints.

Work in other disciplines in down-time, such as prop modeling, texturing, or particles.

Provide feedback to tools programmers and coordinate efforts with other dynamic artists to streamline methods and improve efficiency.

Work closely with designers to fine-tune the timing of complex interactive dynamic effects.

Create cloth motion simulations, and fine-tune them for aesthetic effect.

Coordinate with Environment Artists to seamlessly integrate dynamic effects into environments.

 

Ideally, you'll have...

1+ years’ experience in games as a 3D Artist or Environment/Dynamics Artist.

Extensive experience working with FractureFX and Maya dynamics, including cloth.

Experience with PhysX a plus.

Proficiency with Maya modeling and UV tools.

Experience working within Unreal Engine and implementing 3D and dynamic effects work into engine, including Blueprint scripting and particle systems.

A great eye for what is cool and a good sense of environment animation timing.

Basic to intermediate understanding of rigging is a plus.

Mel/Python scripting experience a plus.

Must be willing to take a dynamics test, and provide samples or a demo reel showing applicable experience.

Passion for making and playing games.

Shipped AAA game(s) a plus.
