VFX Artist
Description
As a VFX Artist at Ubisoft, you will deliver
visually impressive moments that positively influence gameplay and enhance the
player experience. Be it smoke, fire, an explosion, falling snow, or a waterfall,
every one of your effects accents the immersive game world – and often has
people wondering, “How did you do
that?”
As a tech-savvy artist, you combine
technology and creativity to make the magic happen. You can adapt to a variety
of tools while relying on your core talent to create and integrate impactful, high
quality, real-time visual effects.
What
you’ll do
- Collaborate with the core team to understand
the overall creative vision and establish visual effect priorities.
- Create environment and cinematic effects using
particle systems and textures you produce.
- Partner with programmers to assess needs and
develop tools.
- Work within technical constraints to craft
attractive and functional effects.
- Integrate your created VFX into the engine.
- Develop effects based on play test results and
comments from cross-functional team members (debug and optimize).
- Adapt to feedback received from the community after
live launch (in some cases), balancing expectations with limitations.
What you bring
- A college diploma in Visual Effects, 3D
Animation, or equivalent (undergraduate degree an asset)
- At least 3 years of experience in modelling,
texturing, lighting, image processing, or related experience
- Knowledge of 2D art tools (e.g. Photoshop), compositing
software (e.g. After Effects or Nuke), 3D software (e.g. Maya or 3DS Max), and game editors (e.g. Unity or Unreal) *
- An understanding of basic vector math and art
fundamentals (lighting, composition, proportion, colour theory, etc.)
- Ability to accept feedback and adapt to it
- A creative and collaborative spirit
- Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and
presentation skills
- A keen eye for detail
- Knowledge of procedural
generation software (e.g. Houdini) & shader writing and optimization a huge
plus
