As we embark on our most ambitious project yet, we are looking for a Senior Animator who possesses the rare blend of technical precision and artistic soul. In this role, you aren’t just moving bones; you are the architect of the player’s physical connection to the game. You will define the weight of a heavy blade, the visceral snap of a parry, and the subtle emotional cues of a protagonist’s face. Working within the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 ecosystem, you will bridge the gap between raw motion-capture data and hyper-responsive gameplay.

You will also oversee facial animation, ensuring our characters convey nuanced emotion during cinematic moments. 2. Motion Capture & Data Integration Deck13 utilizes modern MoCap solutions (including Xsens). You will take raw data and “clean” it—not just removing jitter, but stylizing and retargeting the motion to fit our specific art direction. You understand that MoCap is a foundation, not a finished product, and you have the skills to layer keyframed personality on top of captured movement. 3. Technical Collaboration & Engine Mastery You won’t work in a vacuum.

Your role is both “hands-on” and “eyes-on.” 1. End-to-End Artistic Execution You will create art across a massive stylistic range—from hyper-realistic textures to stylized, “cartoon” character designs. You lead the process from the very first concept sketch through to the final implementation within our game engine. You aren’t just drawing; you are building an atmosphere. 2.

Rendered Ideas is looking for a versatile, passionate 3D Game Artist to join our small but hyper-focused indie team. At Rendered Ideas, we believe the best games are made by teams who own their vision. We don’t do client work. We don’t do “work-for-hire.” We create original IPs, and as our 3D Game Artist, you will be at the very center of that creative engine. You won’t just be following a brief; you will be helping to define the aesthetic language of our future hits. Job Overview : 3D Game Artist Category Details Company Name Rendered Ideas Position Title 3D Game Artist (Character & Environment) Job Type Full-Time, Permanent Location Hybrid (Remote-First with Studio Hubs in Mumbai and Bangalore) Annual CTC Range ₹14,00,000 – ₹24,00,000 (Based on experience and skill) Bonus Structure Annual Profit-Sharing Scheme (In addition to base CTC) Core Software Blender (Modeling, Sculpting, Unwrapping) Experience Level 1+ Years in Video Game Development What We Offer: Freedom, Ownership, and Growth We understand that a skilled 3D Game Artist thrives when given the right balance of challenge and autonomy. At Rendered Ideas, we’ve cultivated an environment that feels like a true indie collective but operates with the financial discipline and stability of a seasoned studio. Detailed Job Description As a 3D Game Artist at Rendered Ideas, you are more than a modeler—you are a world-builder. Your role covers the entire technical and creative spectrum of 3D asset creation. 1. Character & Environment Creation You will be responsible for bringing our worlds to life. This involves creating game-ready 3D characters that are expressive and functional, alongside immersive environments that set the mood. You will take a concept from a 2D sketch and turn it into a high-fidelity 3D model that maintains the charm and intent of the original design. 2. Modeling, Sculpting, and Unwrapping Our pipeline relies heavily on Blender. You will utilize its full suite of tools for high-poly sculpting, retopology, and efficient UV unwrapping. As a 3D Game Artist, you know that a beautiful sculpt is only as good as its topology and UV layout—you take pride in creating clean, professional-grade meshes. 3. Producing Optimized Assets Gaming is about performance. You will produce low-poly, optimized art assets that don’t sacrifice visual quality. You understand the balance between a high vertex count and a smooth frame rate, ensuring our games run flawlessly across a variety of hardware, from mobile devices to desktop setups. 4.

We are not just another game studio; we are a laboratory for “Top Notch” ideas. We treat game development as a craft. As a 3D Game Artist, you will benefit from our flat hierarchy. If you have a suggestion on how to improve the visual fidelity of a scene through better lighting or a more efficient modeling technique, your voice will be heard. We don’t let “the way it’s always been done” get in the way of “the better way to do it.” Furthermore, our commitment to your growth is reflected in our work culture. We offer: Conclusion If you are a 3D Game Artist who is ready to move beyond the “cog in the machine” mentality and wants to join a studio where your work is celebrated and your financial growth is tied to the success of your creations, Rendered Ideas is waiting for you.

Rendered Ideas hiring Lead 2D Game Artist, Mumbai

Rendered Ideas hiring Lead 2D Game Artist

Are you tired of being a small cog in a massive corporate machine? Do you crave the creative autonomy of an indie studio but want the financial stability of a high-growth tech firm? Rendered Ideas is looking for a versatile, passionate 2D Game Artist to join our tight-knit team and help us build worlds from the ground up. In this role, you won’t just be “making assets”; you will be an architect of experiences. At Rendered Ideas, we don’t do client work. We don’t answer to external stakeholders who don’t understand gameplay. We build games we want to play, and we want you to own the visual soul of our next big project as our primary 2D Game Artist. Job Overview : 2D Game Artist (Generalist) Category Details Company Name Rendered Ideas Position Title 2D Game Artist (Generalist) Job Type Full-Time, Permanent Location Hybrid (Remote-First with Studio Hubs in Mumbai and Bangalore) Annual CTC Range ₹12,00,000 – ₹22,00,000 (Based on experience and portfolio) Bonus Structure Annual Profit-Sharing Scheme (Independent of CTC) Experience Level 1+ Years in Video Game Development What We Offer: The Indie Dream with AAA Security We know that a talented 2D Game Artist is often forced to choose between the creative freedom of “starving artist” indie life and the soul-crushing stability of massive mobile-game “factories.” At Rendered Ideas, we’ve built a third way that prioritizes the artist’s well-being and creative output. Detailed Job Description As a 2D Game Artist at Rendered Ideas, your day-to-day will never be monotonous. You are the visual Swiss Army Knife of the team. Your responsibilities span the entire lifecycle of the art pipeline, from the first spark of an idea to the final polished pixel in our engine. 1. Concept & World Building You will be responsible for defining the “look and feel” of our titles. This involves creating character concepts that convey personality through silhouette and color theory, as well as designing immersive environments and backgrounds that tell a story without words. Whether the project calls for gritty realism or vibrant, stylized “cartoon” aesthetics, the 2D Game Artist is the one who sets the standard. 2. Asset Creation & Texture Art A significant portion of your role involves producing high-quality 2D assets, including sprites, textures, and mapping for 2.5D environments. You understand how light interacts with surfaces and can translate that into stunning texture content that brings our game world to life. 3. Visual Effects (VFX) & UI/UX A great game is nothing without “juice.” As our 2D Game Artist, you will conceptualize and design 2D in-game visual effects—think particle systems, spell effects, and environmental flourishes. Furthermore, you will be the gatekeeper of the user experience, designing intuitive game interfaces (UI) and menus that are both beautiful and functional. 4. Technical Implementation & Optimization We don’t expect you to be a programmer, but we do expect our 2D Game Artist to be tech-savvy. You will use our in-house game engine to decorate levels and optimize art assets. You’ll need to understand platform constraints (memory limits, draw calls) to ensure our games run smoothly on everything from high-end PCs to mobile devices. 5. Collaborative Innovation You aren’t an island. You will actively participate in the game creation process, interacting daily with the design team. You’ll provide feedback on how gameplay mechanics can be supported by visual cues and contribute to the overall evolution of the studio’s art pipeline. Eligibility & Technical Requirements We value talent and “eye” over everything else, but a solid foundation in the fundamentals is non-negotiable for any prospective 2D Game Artist joining our ranks at Rendered Ideas. Educational & Professional Background The Artistic Toolkit Soft Skills & Mindset The Evolution of the 2D Game Artist Role In the modern gaming landscape, the role of a 2D Game Artist has shifted from mere asset creation to holistic visual development. At Rendered Ideas, we recognize this shift. We don’t just want someone to draw trees; we want someone who understands how those trees sway in the digital wind, how they change color during a dynamic day-night cycle, and how they contribute to the player’s navigation of the world. As a 2D Game Artist here, you are part of the “Design Core.” This means you are involved in the “Pre-Production” phase just as much as the “Production” phase. You will help us prototype mechanics using visual placeholders and then refine those placeholders into iconic imagery that defines the brand of Rendered Ideas. Why Rendered Ideas is Different Most studios hire a 2D Game Artist to follow a style guide created by a Creative Director they’ve never met. At Rendered Ideas, you are the style guide. Because we are an indie team, you have the freedom to experiment with “Top Notch” processes. If you want to explore hand-painted textures versus vector-based assets, you have the autonomy to make that call. We believe that the best art comes from a place of passion, not pressure. That is why our profit-sharing scheme is so vital. It transforms the role of 2D Game Artist from an employee into a stakeholder. When you put extra love into a character’s animation frame or the texture of a dungeon wall, you aren’t just doing it for a paycheck; you’re doing it for the success of your game. The Application Process We don’t just want a resume; we want to see your vision as a 2D Game Artist. Commitment to Diversity and Innovation Rendered Ideas is an equal opportunity employer. We believe that diverse perspectives lead to richer game worlds. Whether you are a veteran 2D Game Artist or a rising star with a unique perspective, we want to see how your art can help us tell better stories. We provide an environment where your identity is respected and your creative risks are rewarded. We also maintain a dedicated “Creative Research” Friday once a month. On these days, our 2D Game Artist is encouraged to step away from project work and focus on personal skill development—whether that’s learning … Read more
