We are looking for a 3D artist to complete modular ship models for the Unity HDRP game.

Models are initialized and have a defined scale, partitioning, and file structure. The ability to adapt to the existing system without disrupting modularity, pivots, and hierarchies is essential.

 

Scope of work

  • finishing and detailing ship models;
  • Mid-Poly modeling with emphasis on Hard Surface;
  • maintaining module compatibility;
  • preparation of UV, PBR materials and LOD levels;
  • texturing using trim sheets, tileable textures and atlases;
  • controlling polycount and consistent texel density;
  • selectively adding geometry in LOD0 to highlight important details and silhouette.

 

Requirements

  • very good knowledge of Blender;
  • experience in creating Hard Surface models for games;
  • good knowledge of Substance Painter and Substance Designer;
  • practical knowledge of trim sheets, tileable textures and atlases;
  • knowledge of PBR, UV, normals and model optimization;
  • conscious management of polycount and texel density;
  • experience in working with existing, modular assets;
  • portfolio containing game-ready models and technical breakdowns.

 

Welcome

  • experience with ships, vehicles or large modular assets;
  • knowledge of Unity HDRP;
  • interest in historical ships and pirate games;
  • knowledge of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which is our main quality and stylistic reference.

 

Terms of cooperation

  • billing per ship, not per hour;
  • possible parallel cooperation with several subcontractors.
