Senior Hard Surface Artist (Jedi: Survivor Team)

Founded in 2010 by the original creators of the Call of Duty Franchise, Respawn was created with the philosophy that when talented people have creative freedom, they'll make extraordinary games that achieve the unexpected.

We're looking for an experienced and knowledgeable Senior Hard Surface Artist who will embrace our philosophy and share their hard earned expertise to create an incredible experience for our players. We're picturing someone who loves modeling everything hard surface (vehicles, guns, props, etc.) and cares deeply about functionality, with in-depth knowledge and passion for how mechanical things work. In addition to creating high quality, believable models, the ideal candidate for this position has a flair for elegant texturing – i.e., you think carefully about where to place wear and scratches, and you use just the right amount.

• Participate in research and development.
• Conduct research for reference materials to help ensure accuracy to vision.
• Help perpetuate a feedback culture. Provide and welcome artistic feedback from leads and teammates, regardless of experience.

Ideally, you'll have…
• A passion for the Star Wars universe
• 7+ years' professional game development experience. Record of success creating art for major titles desired. (Experience in film industry is considered relative experience.)
• Experience with PBR compliant material workflows
• Portfolio of highly detailed 3D art with a focus on hard surface. Both modeling and texturing skills should be showcased.
• Portfolio should show quality, taste, and the ability to hit a photorealistic/believable look.
• Mastery of standard art packages such as Maya/MAX/Blender, Photoshop, Substance Painter and Zbrush/3DCoat.
• Strong understanding of scale, proportion, and surface properties.
• Experience working with a game engine and implementing 3D work into engine.
• Technical savvy with UE4, specifically materials and shaders are a major plus.
• Vehicle Art background a major plus
• Character modeling skills a major plus.
