VFX Artist - Studio Elevation (Remote within the UK)

nDreams Studio Elevation are re-establishing the boundaries of VR. We’re looking for an exceptionally talented VFX Artist to help us explore, create, and deliver world leading innovation in software and VR hardware. With our first title nearing release and a second in early planning stages, it’s a great time to join our fully remote, VR-first studio.     

In this role, you will bring our game worlds to life by injecting them with the drama and credibility required to immerse users fully. Your work will be the polish that takes our games from good to great. You will work closely with the Art Director and other studio art team members to identify the right effects and tricks to support the game vision and create a richer, more alive world. 

 

The rundown:  

  • 12-month fixed term contract

  • Identify player issues where VFX could enhance enjoyment or understanding of the game 
  • Collaborate with other art team members, design, and Graphics Programmers on the implementation approach for VFX 
  • Consistently deliver impressive and dramatic VFX to projects 
  • Ensure VFX does not block the game’s delivery against the vision for timing or quality reasons 
  • Elevate the enjoyment of the product by players through VFX 

The skills you’ll need:  

  • Excellent working knowledge of Photoshop, Unreal, Maya, or relevant equivalents 
  • Real-time engine experience in Unreal, creating VFX blueprints, shader networks, particles, dynamic systems, lighting, and post-processing 
  • Fundamental understanding of the importance of VFX on the users’ final experience within performance constraints of VR hardware 
  • Ability to deliver on a varied selection of art styles, from realistic to highly stylised 
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail 
  • Ability to articulate and receive constructive feedback on own and peers’ work 
  • Implement, troubleshoot, and debug VFX or cross-discipline VFX systems 
  • Shape and contribute to a VFX workflow for efficient design to delivery of effects within a game 

 

The nice to haves: 

  • Experience with VR development 
  • Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python or HLSL 
  • Previous experience in the gaming industry 
  • Published products within the Console, PC, VR, or Mobile space in a VFX role 
  • Experience working with Pre-Viz tools for VFX
