You will be expected to research real-world references, conceptualize ideas, and translate them into high-quality 3D assets that enhance the player's or viewer's experience. Attention to detail, a strong sense of composition, and an understanding of lighting and atmosphere are key to success in this role. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge projects and work with a team of passionate creatives who are pushing the boundaries of digital art.
