We welcome artists of all levels and backgrounds to join us either in-studio or fully remote as we build the next great Battlefield experience.

Our Values: Transparency, and curiosity are of the utmost importance to us. The best artists are "forever students," and it's important that our devs grow in their crafts, discover new paths, and push one another toward mastery.

This role will report to our Art Line Manager, based in our studio in Los Angeles, California.

 

Responsibilities:

• Create strikingly realistic hard surface and organic models with destruction.
• Create a variety of 3D models (architecture, foliage, props) from photo references and concept art.
• Develop and document pipeline & workflow enhancements to ensure 3D asset cohesion.
• Attend field trips to capture reference photography and scans (photogrammetry)
• Refine art assets and help solve performance issues.
• Collaborate with the World Art teams to bring the creative leadership's vision to life.

 

 

Skills We Look For:

• Excellent technical ability with a deep understanding of Maya, ZBrush, Blender, or similar 3D modeling software.
• Solid Houdini or procedural modeling software skills
• Deep experience working with physically based rendering pipelines.
• Experience with pushing asset fidelity and refining production techniques.
• High degree of self-motivation and initiative.
• Strong planning and prioritization skills.

 

Benefits

We are proud of the great perks we offer like comprehensive health and benefit packages, tuition reimbursement, 401k with company match, and of course, free video games.
