📋 Description

• As a Weapons and Cosmetic 3D artist you’ll be part of a small, creative team responsible for crafting a range of assets — from weapons to character accessories, skins. • We pride ourselves on communication and teamwork, working closely together to deliver exceptional results. • This position focuses heavily on ZBrush sculpting, emphasizing the unique and signature style of Warframe over traditional hard-surface modeling. • You’ll have the freedom to use your preferred software, but proficiency in ZBrush and Adobe Substance Painter is strongly preferred. • A solid understanding of AAA-standard PBR workflows and high/low poly asset creation is expected. • Concept art skills are not required but are a welcome bonus. • The ideal candidate is passionate about video games, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and brings strong problem-solving skills along with a solid foundation in traditional art. • We’re looking for someone who can work independently while collaborating effectively with the team.

🎯 Requirements

• A genuine passion for exploratory designs and creating unique, sometimes weird, visually striking pieces that stand out in the industry. • Exceptional understanding of detailed, organic sculpting techniques. Ability to apply this skill set to inorganic surfaces too. • Flexible skills that translate to different scales and subject matter (weapons, character armor, ships, etc): a 3D generalist with experience in the creation of many types of assets. • Keen eye for light, shade, color, detail, and the fundamentals of design in creating texture maps and materials. Next-gen level texturing skills. • Exceptional knowledge of the asset creation process (block-in, high and low poly, multi part baking, PBR texturing, etc). • Willingness and aptitude to learn new techniques and best practices as the game evolves. • Self-motivated, good communication skills and the ability to integrate into a tight knit team. • 3+ years experience in game development modeling and texturing weapons, equipment, props, vehicles, or characters. • A university degree in visual arts with specialization in relevant fields, or relevant experience in game development.
