Principal VFX Artist

Details

*** All of our roles are based remotely in Europe or similar time zones ***

The Spectarium Art Team is looking for an experienced VFX Artist to join our ranks, working on our new and very exciting Mobile Fantasy IP. You will be joining us at a great time as the team explores style, prototypes ideas, and finds joy in truly creating something truly visually stunning for our players and ourselves.

As a Show Effects Artist you will work with a range of different creative disciplines on a daily basis, for example, environment and character artists building assets to really help bring their creations to life, combat designers and animators suggesting and implementing innovative and technical approaches on a wide range of magic and close-up effects that really pack a punch, and support the UI by creating beautiful, stylized effects and transitions that allow the breathe user interface.

In an average week, you might be…

• Refine these pixel-perfect typing effects with the design team.
• Walk through fantasy habitats with environment artists planning their effects needs.
• Review and propose new effects with the art director and lead artist producing composites to showcase ideas and concepts.
• Work alongside engineers on shader concepts that could be used globally.
• R&D on breakable simulations.
• Signature effects optimized for mobile devices.

Requirements

• Your showreel should show that you have a real eye for stylized thematic visual effects finalized in Unity and are confident in mixing 2D and 3D elements. You have enough experience and creativity to know when to lower it and when to raise it to eleven.
• You’ll know the right tools for the inside-out job and be an expert at creating stylized hand-painted VFX textures while feeling confident working with procedural and dynamic simulations and particle systems.
• Being able to put all those technical skills together to create beautiful, real-time optimized effects in Unity…and of course, you love playing games.
• So, if you’re ready to work alongside a passionate, fully-remote team whose culture is truly about supportive and collaborative game development, we want to hear from you!
