Contract Length: 1–2 months (extendable)

Compensation: Profit‑sharing or  $500 USD /month (discuss after initial contact)

About the Project

We are building a small indie studio focused on 3D games made in Unity/Unreal. The first project is a quick‑turn 3D title that will serve as a stepping‑stone for future releases. Success on this project will help us grow a core team of passionate creators.

Responsibilities

  • Design and model 3D characters, props, and environmental assets in a consistent art style.
  • Produce a variety of assets (people, animals, objects, UI elements) that meet the creative vision.
  • Export assets for real‑time engines (Unity/Unreal) and set up basic materials/textures.
  • Iterate on models based on feedback from the team.
  • Work closely with the programmer lead to ensure assets are optimized for performance.

Required Experience

  • Proficiency in one or more industry‑standard 3D modeling tools (Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, ZBrush, etc.).
  • Solid understanding of texturing workflows, UV mapping, rigging and animations.
  • Experience importing models into Unity or Unreal Engine and setting up simple shaders/materials.
  • Prior game development experience (professional or personal projects).
  • Ability to deliver clean, production‑ready assets on a tight schedule.

Nice‑to‑Have

  • Basic scripting (C#, Blueprints, or equivalent).
  • Experience with rigging and animation pipelines.
  • Familiarity with light‑mapping and level‑of‑detail (LOD) systems.
  • Passion for indie game development and a growth mindset.

How to Apply

  • Include a short cover letter explaining why you want to be apart of this team.
  • Provide links to a portfolio showcasing 3D models (characters, props, environments) and any publically available projects.
  • Mention any previous experience with Unity/Unreal or game projects.

We're looking to start as soon as possible and will build the team based on talent and the project's success.
