• Understanding of environment art principles for third-person games, where asset readability at medium and long distances is important.
• Knowledge of game asset optimization techniques.
• Ability to work independently with concepts and references while following the established Art Direction

Responsibilities:

• Create game environments, including interior architecture, corridors, rooms, structural elements, furniture, and various props.

• Work with composition, scale, and visual hierarchy within confined indoor spaces.
• Optimize geometry, textures, and materials according to the technical requirements of the game engine (Unity).
• Integrate and configure assets in Unity.

Would be a plus:

• Experience working on Third-Person, Simulation, Life-Sim, or Isometric games.
• Experience creating corridor-based levels and detailed indoor environments.
• Experience with Unreal Engine or Unity.
