Shivaansh Artvision is hiring 3D Generalist (Blender Focus)

Job Overview

• Company: Shivaansh Artvision
• Position Title: 3D Generalist
• Location : Ahmedabad, Gujarat
• Primary Toolset: Blender & Substance Painter
• Engine Focus: Unity or Unreal Engine
• Core Mission: Creating high-quality assets and environments for games
• Key Framework: Physically-Based Rendering (PBR)

Shivaansh Artvision is a forward-thinking creative studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment and digital artistry. We are currently seeking a highly versatile and technically proficient 3D Generalist with a specialized mastery of Blender to join our dynamic production team. In this role, you will be the foundational architect of our digital worlds, transforming conceptual visions into optimized, game-ready realities.

As a 3D Generalist, your influence will be felt across every stage of the art pipeline. We value artists who possess a “polymath” approach to 3D production—individuals who can seamlessly pivot from high-poly character sculpting to technical engine integration without losing sight of the creative vision.

You will be tasked with creating a vast array of assets, including hero characters, complex props, and sprawling environmental sets. By utilizing Blender as your primary engine for creation, you will drive the aesthetic quality of our titles while maintaining strict adherence to performance budgets and technical constraints.

Detailed Responsibilities

1. High-Fidelity 3D Modeling and Sculpting

• Character & Prop Creation: Create high-quality 3D models for diverse characters, intricate props, and immersive environments.

• Blender Mastery: Utilize the full suite of Blender tools for poly-modeling, sculpting, and retopology to ensure professional-grade geometry.

• Real-Time Optimization: Ensure all models are meticulously optimized for real-time performance, balancing visual density with engine efficiency.

• Style Adherence: Collaborate directly with the Art Director to interpret and execute the specific visual style required for each project.

2. Texturing and Material Development (PBR Focus)

• Advanced Texturing: Create realistic and visually appealing textures that bring 3D surfaces to life.

• Substance Workflow: Master the integration between Blender and Substance Painter to develop complex, layered materials.

• PBR Standards: Apply a profound understanding of Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) principles to ensure materials react realistically to lighting.

• Material Setup: Configure advanced materials within game engines to maintain visual fidelity from the viewport to the final build.

3. Animation and Dynamics

• Simple Animations: Develop basic animations for environmental objects, including prop movements and simple interactions.

• Dynamics & Simulation: Create basic dynamics animations to add life and secondary motion to the game world.

• Garment Modeling: Utilize cloth simulation techniques for realistic garment modeling and soft-body interactions.

4. Engine Integration and Technical Art

• Pipeline Management: Import 3D assets into Unity or Unreal Engine, managing the full export/import pipeline.

• Seamless Integration: Ensure that all assets integrate perfectly with the game engine’s architecture and logic.

• Technical Setup: Take responsibility for setting up lighting, post-processing effects, and final scene assembly to achieve a polished look.

III. Required Skills and Professional Experience

To succeed as a 3D Generalist at Shivaansh Artvision, you must demonstrate proficiency across several technical domains:

Technical Software Proficiency

• Blender Expert: Strong, proven proficiency in 3D modeling and texturing using Blender.

• Texturing Suite: Mastery of Substance Painter for advanced texture baking and painting.

• Game Engines: Deep experience with modern game engines, specifically Unity or Unreal Engine.

• Real-Time Rendering: A solid understanding of real-time rendering techniques and engine-specific shaders.

Core Competencies

• Animation Fundamentals: Possess basic animation skills to handle non-character motion and environmental dynamics.

• Visual Standards: A keen eye for visual quality and a strong attention to detail that elevates every asset you touch.

• Deadline Driven: The ability to work under tight deadlines and adapt quickly to changing project priorities or creative shifts.

• Collaborative Spirit: Excellent communication skills to work closely with artists, designers, and programmers in a unified production environment.
