Job Description

We are looking for a talented and experienced Character Modeler to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for creating high-quality character models, from concept to final integration in Unreal Engine 5.

As a Character Modeler, you will work at the intersection of concept, art, and technology, bringing digital characters to life.

  • Develop PBR textures, shaders, materials, and FX relevant for real-time rendering.
  • Improve and adapt existing assets to match evolving quality and style targets.
  • Set up efficient pipelines for stylized and realistic characters, ensuring clean topology and engine optimization.
  • Identify and resolve performance, compatibility, and quality issues across the character pipeline.

Requirements

  • Expertise and a strong portfolio in Character Art or equivalent role in game development.
  • Expert in high-poly sculpting (ZBrush), retopology, PBR workflows (Substance Painter/Designer), and UV mapping.
  • Advanced understanding of the end-to-end character pipeline (concept, modeling, rigging, skinning, shading, integration, physics, etc.).
  • Expert proficiency in Unreal Engine 5 and related character tools.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills regarding creative, technical, and production issues, while keeping a professional, calm, and composed demeanor.
