3D ENVIRONMENT ARTIST

We are looking for an experienced 3D Environment Artist to build the world of a new game at Snowman. 

Snowman is a small game studio at the centre of artful experiences. Our goal is to create meaningful experiences that you may sit with for a short time, but that sit with you for a long while.

Responsibilities

• Model beautiful, stylized, natural environments.

• Work closely with concept artist and game designer.

• We need someone multi-faceted who can wear many hats and learn things on their own.

Required Skills

• Minimum 2-3 year of experience developing 3D environments

• Preference for minimal and non-photorealistic art styles.

• Proficient in the use of Maya (or other 3D modelling package), Photoshop, ZBrush/Mudbox, and texture creation/material editing (Substance Painter/Mari/Unreal/Unity). This new game will be made with Unity.

• You should have a good sense of design (but you don’t need to be a “designer”).

• You need to be comfortable with the constraints that different platforms (e.g. mobile, console, PC) require of your work.

• Versatility. We are looking for someone to design, model, texture, and bring any other expertise that'll help realize the world we are trying to create.

Bonus Points! 

• Game design experience.

• Have worked on minimal/non-photorealistic games before.

• Familiar with iOS / macOS / tvOS ecosystems.

• Fine art experience.

You’ll be joining a small but world-renowned team based downtown Toronto. At Snowman, we’re flexible on daily hours, working from home when required, and we’re not micromanagers–we want you to be empowered to make decisions on your own. Experience, talent, and drive are more important than fancy school degrees.
