About the Role
As a Technical Artist, you will play a vital role in ensuring our 3D art assets are both aesthetically pleasing and optimized for production. You will work closely with 3D artists, animators, and developers to build efficient workflows, streamline the production pipeline, and troubleshoot any technical challenges that arise during production. You will also optimize 3D models, shaders, lighting setups, and performance within real-time engines and rendering software.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain efficient workflows for asset creation, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering.
Collaborate with the art and development teams to implement new tools, processes, and best practices.
Ensure that all 3D assets are optimized for real-time engines (Unity, Unreal) or rendering engines (V-Ray, Corona).
Troubleshoot and solve complex technical challenges related to 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation.
Develop shaders, materials, and custom scripts that enhance visual quality and streamline production.
Optimize performance in both game engines and architectural visualization render pipelines without compromising visual quality.
Collaborate with artists to ensure that their work is both visually stunning and technically sound for various platforms.
Keep up-to-date with the latest industry trends, techniques, and software to maintain cutting-edge workflows.
Assist in developing toolsets and plugins that increase productivity and automation within the production pipeline.
Work on asset integration within game engines, ensuring that models, textures, and animations are properly implemented and optimized.
Benefits:
Competitive salary or freelance rates.
Flexible working hours (remote or on-site options).
Opportunity to work on high-end projects in gaming and architectural visualization.
Collaborative, innovative, and creative work environment.
Career growth opportunities and skill development.
