Senior 3D Artist

About the Role

We're looking for a visionary Senior 3D Artist who sits at the intersection of traditional artistry and cutting-edge technology. You'll own end-to-end 3D production using Blender, Cinema 4D, and Unreal Engine — while actively integrating Generative AI tools to push visual quality and production speed.

Responsibilities

• End-to-End 3D Production: High-quality modeling, texturing, lighting, and animation across Blender and Cinema 4D
• Real-time Excellence: Technical setup and cinematic rendering in Unreal Engine — Blueprinting, Material styling, Sequencer management
• AI Pipeline Integration: Implement tools like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, or Magnific for rapid prototyping, texture generation, and upscaling
• Look Development: Lead visual direction — seamless transition from 2D AI-generated concepts to polished 3D assets
• R&D: Research and implement new AI plugins and scripts to automate repetitive tasks and enhance visual fidelity
• Mentorship: Guide junior artists through multi-software pipelines and ethical AI usage

Qualifications

• Core Stack (The Trinity — all three required): Blender: Expert in poly-modeling, sculpting, and Geometry Nodes; Cinema 4D: Advanced Mograph + Redshift/Octane integration; Unreal Engine: Lighting, environment building, and real-time rendering
• Generative AI Proficiency: texture generation (seamless tiling, PBR maps); concepting/storyboarding with AI to accelerate client approvals; AI upscaling and neural rendering techniques
• 5+ years of professional 3D production experience (Agency, Gaming, or Post-Production)
• Proven interoperability across DCCs and Game Engines (FBX, USD, Alembic workflows)
• Strong communication — able to explain complex pipelines to non-technical stakeholders
• Portfolio demonstrating range across commercial, motion, or cinematic 3D work

Skills

• Blender, Cinema 4D, Unreal Engine
• Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Magnific (or similar generative AI tools)
• PBR texturing, seamless tiling, neural upscaling
• Scripting and plugins for automation (Python)
• Look development, material styling, Sequencer and Blueprint workflows

Additional Information

• Mindset: Hybrid creativity — balance manual craft with AI-assisted efficiency; "Perpetual student" excited by new tools; collaborative and committed to mentoring
