In the modern gaming landscape, props are the tactile foundation of immersion. They tell the silent story of a world’s history, function, and state of repair. Blum Studios is seeking a highly skilled and meticulous Prop Artist to join our elite asset team. Blum Studios is looking for a specialist who can bridge the gap between high-concept art and technical performance, ensuring every object within our worlds—from a simple relic to complex machinery—is a masterpiece of digital craftsmanship.

With locations worldwide, we provide a multicultural, inclusive environment where artistic excellence is the standard, and every team member’s contribution is a vital part of the final player experience. Role Overview The Prop Artist is responsible for the creation of high-quality 3D assets that populate our gaming environments. You will work at the intersection of aesthetic beauty and technical optimization. Your primary mission is to take 2D concepts or real-world photo references and translate them into game-ready, three-dimensional assets that adhere to a Physically Based Rendering (PBR) workflow. This role requires a diverse skillset; you must be as comfortable sculpting organic, soft-surface forms as you are modeling precise, hard-surface mechanical objects. At Blum Studios, we don’t just “make props”; we craft the interactive elements that make our digital worlds feel lived-in, tangible, and real. Key Responsibilities 1. High-End Asset Creation Modeling Excellence: Craft compelling and visually outstanding next-gen assets, varying from stylized items to hyper-realistic machinery. Surface Diversity: Execute high-poly and low-poly modeling for both hard-surface (tools, vehicles, weapons) and soft-surface/organic (foliage, fabrics, debris) assets. Texture & Material Mastery: Author high-fidelity textures and complex materials that utilize the PBR pipeline to ensure realistic light response and material definition. 2. Technical Implementation & Optimization Engine Integration: Independently integrate assets, textures, and material instances into game engines such as Unreal Engine 5 or Unity, ensuring all shaders and LODs (Levels of Detail) are correctly configured. Performance Balancing: Maintain a strict balance between cinematic-quality visuals and the technical constraints of the game engine. You will be responsible for optimizing mesh density, texture memory, and draw calls without compromising the artistic vision. Collision & Physics: Set up appropriate collision meshes and technical parameters to ensure props interact correctly with the game’s physics engine. 3. Collaborative Production Creative Alignment: Work in close proximity with the Lead Artist and Art Director to ensure all assets align with the project’s overarching visual style and quality bar. Reference Utilization: Diligently work from provided concept art and photo references to ensure historical or stylistic accuracy. Pipeline Participation: Contribute to the refinement of the asset pipeline by documenting workflows and identifying new tools that can enhance production efficiency. Qualifications & Technical Skills Professional Requirements Industry Experience: A minimum of 3 years of experience in game development, with at least one shipped title or a portfolio of equivalent professional quality. Artistic Eye: Strong foundational skills in form, silhouette, color theory, and surface wear/weathering. Collaboration: A proven ability to work within a multidisciplinary team, accepting and implementing feedback with a proactive attitude. Technical Proficiencies Modeling Tools: Expert-level knowledge of industry-standard software, specifically 3ds Max, Maya, and ZBrush. Texturing Suite: Mastery of the Substance Suite (Painter/Designer) and Photoshop for PBR texture creation. Baking Skills: Exceptional skill in baking high-to-low poly maps (Normal, AO, Curvature, etc.) using Marmoset Toolbag or similar software. Game Engines: Deep familiarity with Unreal Engine or Unity pipelines, specifically regarding asset importing and material editor navigation. Leadership & Soft Skills Communication Excellence: The ability to articulate technical challenges and creative solutions clearly to both artistic and non-artistic stakeholders.
