3D Artist (Character Creator)

The project focuses on training machine learning networks designed to help artists and game developers improve rendering performance and quality. It produces high-quality ground truth data for complex scenarios in cinematic CGI and game development, using Blender Cycles, Unreal Engine, and custom renderers based on GLTF, USD, and MaterialX.

• Create 3D character assets in Character Creator using techniques and quality that match current-generation game graphics
• Set up characters based on specific descriptions, with a focus on technical model and material aspects over aesthetics or style
• Set up character morphs, poses, and clothing
• Export and set up characters with materials
• Create custom content and adapt or improve existing assets for performance, cinematic quality, or a balance of both

• Create photorealistic humans from scratch using Reallusion Character Creator or a professional sculpting tool such as ZBrush
• Have at least 3 years of experience working with content for Unreal Engine or another modern game engine
• Understand PBR workflows, material composition, and optimization
• Have experience building and texturing game-ready and cinematic characters in Blender and Substance, and know common texturing pipelines for Unreal and Cycles, including procedural approaches where appropriate
• Have solid character experience, including adjusting materials for skin, cloth, and hair; creating material maps for SSS, translucency, and wrinkles; setting poses and facial expressions; and rebuilding hair systems, such as converting card-based hair to curve-based hair
• Provide a portfolio with high-quality photorealistic current- or next-generation game characters made with Character Creator or created from scratch using sculpting and polymodeling, including breakdowns of materials, rigged and driven systems, facial morphs, and hair systems
• English proficiency at B2 Upper Intermediate level
• Будет плюсом: Character sculpting and creating photorealistic humans from scratch using common modeling techniques, including ZBrush or Blender sculpting, animation-ready topology, and facial animation morphs; animation and rigging experience, including modifying character skeletons and rigging in Blender and Unreal Engine, motion capture, motion matching, or UE5 skeleton retargeting; familiarity with MaterialX, OpenPBR, and UE5 Substrate

• Relocation-friendly position in Belgrade, Serbia
