The Project: World of Tanks: HEAT

World of Tanks: HEAT is the next massive leap for Wargaming. It is a high-octane, hero-driven tactical experience that blends the mechanical complexity our fans love with a fresh, cinematic aesthetic. As the Senior Marketing 3D Artist, you aren’t just making ads; you are telling the story of the “Agents” and their experimental machines. Your work will be the first thing a new player sees, making you a critical architect of the game’s commercial and cultural success.

Core Responsibilities

1. High-Impact Key Art & Visuals

You will lead the creation of “Key Visuals”—the definitive images used for game covers, major announcements, and global reveal campaigns. This involves:

• Compositional Mastery: Crafting high-drama scenes that communicate both the action and the narrative stakes of HEAT.

• Advanced Rendering: Using 3D software to set up complex lighting and high-fidelity renders that go beyond in-game quality for promotional use.

• Post-Production: Utilizing Photoshop for advanced matte painting, color grading, and effects to bring a “theatrical poster” quality to every asset.

2. Multichannel Marketing Assets

Your work will span the entire digital and physical landscape:

• Social & Web: Designing high-engagement banners for YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.

• Trailer Support: Contributing to storyboards and creating high-resolution assets used in cinematic trailers.

• Storefronts: Ensuring our presence on Steam, Epic Games Store, and console marketplaces is visually superior to the competition.

3. In-Game Branding & Live Ops

You will also bridge the gap between marketing and the game world:

• Branded Environments: Designing billboards and in-world advertising elements that make the game world feel lived-in.

• Battle Pass & Events: Creating the “Hero Images” for seasonal events, Battle Passes, and limited-time game modes to drive player retention.

4. Strategic Research & Collaboration

• Market Analysis: Staying ahead of the curve by analyzing trends in AAA gaming, cinema, and digital art.

• Cross-Team Synergy: Working with the Marketing Team to ensure your creative vision aligns with strategic business goals and brand guidelines.

What We Are Looking For

Required Professional Experience

• 5+ Years of Experience: A proven track record in marketing art or visual development within the AAA games or high-end entertainment industry.

• Technical Software Expertise: Expert-level command of Adobe Photoshop and industry-standard 3D suites (Maya, Blender, or 3ds Max).

• Render Pipeline Knowledge: Proficiency in high-end rendering engines (Octane, Redshift, Arnold, or V-Ray) to produce marketing-ready output.

• Language: Professional English proficiency (Upper-Intermediate or higher) is mandatory.

Artistic & Soft Skills

• Brand Sensitivity: An innate understanding of how to protect and elevate a multi-billion dollar brand identity.

• Versatility: The ability to work from a rough 2D sketch all the way to a final 3D-composed masterpiece.

• Independence & Speed: The ability to self-manage complex tasks in a fast-paced environment where deadlines are often tied to major global events.

Standout “Bonus” Skills

• Engine Integration: Experience with Unreal Engine 5 or Unity to pull assets directly from the game for high-end rendering.

• Traditional Arts: A background in traditional painting or sketching to help with rapid ideation and storyboarding.

• Live-Service Expertise: Prior experience creating seasonal branding for successful “Games as a Service” (GaaS) titles.
