Level Artist

Job description

As a Level Artist at Ubi MTL, you will create captivating 3D environments within an immersive world waiting to be explored. You will be an environment architect, a visual storyteller, and an experience maker wrapped into one.

 

Be it in a level, side mission, or piece of an open-world map, you assemble and position key elements to deliver impactful visual moments and enhance the player experience. Every asset you carefully place, from a building to a prop, tells a story and evokes an atmosphere and a mood.

 

Even within a given framework, you can push creative boundaries – and you have the artistic ability to do so. You know how to modify lighting, play around with composition, and add just the right amount of detail to develop a game space with plenty of personality.

What you’ll do

·  Collaborate with level designers and the art director to discuss and understand game intentions and vision.
·  Perform artistic research (find written descriptions and visual references).
·  Set up placeholders and submit modelling and texturing requests to artists.
·  Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints.
·  Integrate and build assets into the game engine to set and dress a polished scene. 
·  Ensure integrated work is aligned with the artistic direction and makes sense gameplay-wise (test and improve).

What you bring

·  A college diploma in 3D Modelling or equivalent
·  Around 2-4 years of experience in modelling, texturing, lighting, image processing, or other relevant experience
·  Knowledge of 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max or Maya) and optimization techniques
·  Understanding of art fundamentals: lighting, composition, colour theory, etc.
·  Strong communication and interpersonal skills
·  Curiosity, flexibility, and resourcefulness
·  Creativity and a keen eye for detail!

 

What to send our way

·  Your CV, highlighting your education, experience, and skills
·   A portfolio of your best work (attach images or send us a link to your personal website or online portfolio)
