HIRING – 3D Artist (NOW FILLED)

UPDATE: THIS POSITION HAS NOW BEEN FILLED

2ndcity Studios are a Christian Game Studio based in Mt Eden, Auckland and are building an allegorical Bible based virtual world for 10-14year olds. The visual style is a Victorian / Parisian steam-punk, and is set in a mysterious land that is pervaded by a thick, nasty fog. Our world is 22.5 isometric and our weapons and characters are created in 3D.

We are seeking a 3D Guru to join our team as our 3D artist – your quest will be to bring the 2D concept sketches to life in 3D.

Do you have what it takes?

• You will have experience in 3D modelling software, with Blender being the preferred option, as this is the software you will be using here.

• You will have experience in games, game engines, and the requirements of working to poly-limits, as well as an understanding of the limits imposed for systems such as avatar customisation.

• You will be confident in the full spectrum of 3D work, including texturing, modelling, rigging, and animating.

• You will be confident modelling and animating human forms.

• You will have knowledge of technical art, such as shaders, plugins, and scripts. Python knowledge would be highly advantageous.

• Knowledge of other animation systems (Dragon Bones, Spriter etc) are a bonus

You will be working in a team of 2 existing in-house artists and 2 out-sourced contract 2D artists. You will be reporting directly to the Art Lead but will also interface regularly with the Game Producer and Technical lead.

In other news, our offices are bright, fun, and open plan. We have a great team atmosphere here and we are all quite excited by the possibility of another staff member!

This is a full time role. It is our preference to employ someone who is a Christian, but this isn’t essential. However it is essential that all employees support the vision and values of the studio.

This role is suitable for a new graduate.
