3D Artist

Epic Quest Summary

We are seeking a talented and passionate 3D Artist to join our team working on an exciting Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) title. As a 3D Artist, you will be responsible for creating high-quality 3D assets that bring our game world to life. This role requires a strong artistic vision, technical proficiency in 3D modeling and texturing, and a collaborative mindset to work effectively with other members of the art and design teams.

Who we are

Game7 is a community formed to accelerate the adoption of Web3 gaming through crowdsourcing, to create public goods that can be owned by many. It’s a home for those who want to influence, shape, and build a better gaming industry, where the interests of players and developers are aligned.We are building a gaming nation, one that represents over 3 billion players and $200 billion in annual economic activity.

Our nation is governed by meritocracy, a system where a citizen’s contributions, not capital, grant them status, rewards and influence. It’s this philosophy that will create a more equitable and sustainable gaming future.

As part of this, we are building targeted games, products and offerings that specifically address the challenges that the industry desperately needs solutions for.

What you'll help us build

• Asset Creation: Create 3D models, textures, and materials for characters, environments, props, and other game assets. Ensure that all assets meet the technical and artistic standards set by the art direction.
• Environment Design: Design and model immersive and visually stunning environments that enhance the player experience. Create landscapes, architecture, and atmospheric elements that contribute to the game world's narrative and atmosphere.
• Character Design: Conceptualize and design characters, creatures, and NPCs that are visually appealing and thematically consistent with the game's art style and lore. Develop detailed character models with expressive animations and rigging.
• Texture Painting: Apply textures and shaders to 3D models to achieve realistic or stylized visual effects. Use techniques such as hand-painting, procedural texturing, and photo manipulation to create compelling surface materials.
• Optimization: Optimize 3D assets for performance and memory usage without sacrificing visual quality. Ensure that assets are efficiently rendered and animated within the constraints of the game engine.
• Collaboration: Collaborate closely with other artists, designers, and programmers to integrate 3D assets seamlessly into the game. Communicate effectively with team members to ensure alignment on project goals and deadlines.
  

If you think you have valuable experience to bring to the organization, but don’t necessarily meet all of the criteria for the role, we still want to hear from you. We consider all applications.
