Integrate assets into Unity, ensuring they are correctly set up and look great within the massive scale of Cities: Skylines II.
Collaborate closely with the Art Director and the technical team to maintain visual consistency and follow established workflows.
Optimize assets to ensure they meet the performance standards required for a deep simulation without sacrificing visual appeal.
Requirements:
Strong 3D art portfolio showing a good grasp of form, texture, and realistic environments.
Proficiency in Blender, including modeling, texturing, and animation.
Understanding of modern game art pipelines, including PBR texturing and modular asset creation.
Relevant experience in the game industry, with a solid understanding of how assets function within a game engine.
How to stand out from the crowd:
Practical experience working within the Unity engine (e.g., shaders, materials, or scene setup).
A keen eye for urban design, infrastructure, or realistic building structures.
Experience with technical art, scripting, or improving art pipelines.
Experience working with external partners or documenting workflows for team use.
Our office is located within a walking distance from downtown Tampere. Due to the highly collaborative nature of the work, we expect you to be able to work at the office.
