Mighty Studio is an industry-leading creative powerhouse dedicated to pushing the boundaries of digital storytelling. From high-octane cinematic trailers to immersive environment builds for top-tier gaming titles, our work is defined by a relentless pursuit of visual excellence.

We are currently expanding our freelance roster and are seeking a highly skilled 3D Modeler based in Mexico to join our remote production team. At Mighty Studio, we don’t just build assets; we build worlds. If you have the technical discipline to maintain perfect topology and the artistic soul to breathe life into a character’s silhouette, we want to see your portfolio.

Mighty Studio offers competitive freelance rates tailored to the complexity of the project and the artist’s expertise. Below is a standard monthly breakdown for ongoing full-time freelance engagement:

The Core Mission

As a 3D Modeler at Mighty Studio, your primary objective is to translate 2D vision into 3D reality. You will be the architect of the project’s visual assets, ensuring that every model—from a hero character to a background crate—is high-fidelity, production-ready, and technically sound.

You are expected to be more than a “button pusher.” We value artists who understand the physics of the real world and can translate that into digital form. Whether you are sculpting organic muscle tissue in ZBrush or hard-surface mechanical parts in Maya, your work must be optimized for a fast-paced production pipeline where “good enough” is never the standard.

1. Digital Asset Sculpting & Construction

• Conceptual Fidelity: Interpret 2D concept art, turnarounds, and mood boards to create 3D assets that align perfectly with the Art Director’s vision.
• Organic & Hard-Surface Modeling: Create a wide range of assets, including high-poly character sculpts, complex architectural environments, and detailed mechanical props.
• Silhouette & Form: Prioritize strong silhouettes and readable shapes that stand out in various lighting conditions.

2. Technical Optimization & Pipeline Health

• Clean Topology: Build models with efficient edge loops and quad-based geometry to ensure seamless deformation during the rigging and animation stages.
• Polygon Budgeting: Maintain a strict balance between visual detail and performance, ensuring assets meet the technical constraints of the engine or rendering software.
• UV Mapping Excellence: Execute professional UV unwrapping with a focus on minimizing seams, preventing stretching, and maximizing texel density. Mastery of UDIM workflows is highly preferred.

3. Collaboration & Feedback Loops

• Interdepartmental Synergy: Work alongside Texture Artists to ensure UVs are optimal for painting and with Riggers to ensure geometry supports the necessary range of motion.
• Asset Management: Adhere to Mighty Studio’s strict naming conventions and folder structures to ensure a smooth hand-off to the lighting and rendering teams.
• Revision Mastery: Efficiently implement feedback from Supervisors and Art Directors, often within tight production windows.

Hard Skills & Experience

• Experience: A minimum of 2–3 years in a production environment (VFX, Feature Animation, or AAA Gaming).
• Software Proficiency: Expert command of Autodesk Maya or Blender. Advanced knowledge of ZBrush for high-resolution sculpting is essential.
• Texture Prep: Familiarity with the Substance Suite (Painter/Designer) to ensure models are correctly prepared for the texturing pipeline.
• Anatomical Knowledge: For character roles, a deep understanding of human and animal anatomy, including how muscles and skin move over bone.

Professional & Soft Skills

1. Communication: Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly in English. This is vital for our international collaboration.
2. Time Management: Since this is a remote freelance role, you must be a disciplined self-starter capable of hitting milestones without daily hand-holding.
3. Quality Obsession: A “pixel-perfect” mindset. You should be your own harshest critic before submitting work for review.

Working with Mighty Studio means joining a culture of excellence. Even though we are remote, we maintain a tight-knit community through:

1. Digital Dailies: Join virtual sessions to see what other departments are working on and gain a broader perspective on the project.
2. Advanced Tooling: Access to our proprietary asset management tools and cloud-based pipeline.
3. Professional Growth: Opportunity to work on high-profile IPs that will significantly bolster your professional reel.

To join the Mighty Studio team, please prepare the following:

1. Portfolio/Reel: This is the most important part of your application. Show us your best work, including wireframe renders and UV layouts.
2. Software Breakdown: A list of your primary and secondary tools.
3. Availability: Your current freelance availability and preferred start date.
