Over time you would begin to ‘own’ the style, developing assets yourself as well as managing the other more junior artists on the team. As the team grows, we would have a view to you growing into the role of the lead artist.

  • Solve technical problems relating to art and animation content in-game
  • Learn existing art pipelines, refine them, and maintain them
  • Utilize all latest games graphics techniques and technologies where appropriate to improve the quality and productivity of the game and its development
  • Be a versatile artist, able to participate where needed in the creation of new content
  • Specify work for, and help to manage and direct, external freelance and contract artists that support the internal core team

Requirements

  • 3-5 years games industry experience as an artist
  • Proven ability in high-poly modeling, surface texturing, baking to low-polygon in-game hard surface models
  • Experience with environment art, landscape, foliage, and prop asset creation
  • Experience with Unity HDRP lighting, atmospherics, post-processes, surface materials
  • Some experience with Unity Visual Effects Graph
  • Some experience with character modeling, rigging, skinning
  • Some experience with animating, even if you’re not a pro-animator but you’ve done personal projects to learn about this area of art in games
  • An understanding of building shaders with node graphs such as Unity Shader Graph
  • The software we use are Maya, Photoshop, Substance, Illustrator, XD, Speedtree, ZBrush - any other tools that can help you produce higher quality art or be more productive are always welcome
  • A keen eye for detail
  • Meticulous and well organized
  • Respect for deadlines and be a team player
  • Pro-active and able to prioritize tasks and manage your time effectively
  • You must be friendly, no ego, open to other opinions, but also confident in your own ability and skills. How you integrate as a person within the team will be critical to your success within the role.

We decide game features, what platforms we release on, what dates we release on, how we promote and market our games, what business models we choose to follow, our prices, everything. It is fun and very rewarding to be the master of your own game development destiny. This is the freedom that being properly independent brings and this is what Freejam is all about.
