Description

As a Technical Artist you will play a critical role in driving the look of our games, playing an important role in developing visual features and shaping the art production pipelines we use in development.

You will create tools and processes to help streamline our artist's daily workflows, and assist the wider team in delivering assets and features on time and within technical budgets.

Responsibilities

Team up with the Art Leads to bring the artistic vision to life, and make sure it meets all project requirements.
As someone with experience, it's crucial to identify and solve problems before they impact the development team. Being proactive is key part of this role.
We're always looking for ways to improve, so you will help implement new techniques that can make our art creation faster and better.
To make sure our content looks amazing across all platforms, we need to direct the art optimization efforts and make the best decisions.
You will be the bridge between art and programming teams, so you will collaborate effectively with everyone and keep things running smoothly.
Create and test any new tools before they go live, and make sure we're always sharing knowledge with the team.
Communication is key, so you'll make sure we're regularly keeping the art team in the loop on any technical constraints and the reasons behind them.

Requirements:

Handson experience working with thirdparty engines including Unreal Engine and Unity.
Good knowledge of CG fundamentals (modelling, texturing, shading, lighting etc) within Maya, Max, Blender or similar.
Ability to debug and optimise complex assets and implement efficient rendering and VFX techniques.
Excellent communication and problemsolving skillset.
Experience using 3dsMax as a Technical Artist.
Knowledge of procedural systems and Houdini would be useful.
