• Participate in build reviews, address bugs, and guide art quality through a balance of visual improvements and performance constraints.
• Prepare visual documents that capture asset progress for reviews with our brand partners at Lucasfilm.

Requirements & Skills:

• 4+ years of production experience as a character artist; mobile development experience a major plus.
• Experience working within the Unity game engine.
• Expertise working with modeling and texturing programs such as Maya/3DS Max, Photoshop, and 3dCoat.
• Ability to work from reference materials such as photography or concept art.
• Familiarity with version control and asset management software (Perforce).
• Experience working in character art pipelines.

 

Please apply with the following:

• In-game characters with screenshots or video footage citing your specific contributions.
• Examples of achieving character likeness in with 3D sculpts, texture painting, and material creation.
