3D Generalist (Real-Time / UE5)

Spunge Games is seeking a broad real-time 3D artist who can cover environment, asset and prop modeling, texturing and materials, lighting, and effects as production demands.

What you'll do

• Work across environment, asset and prop modeling, texturing and materials, lighting, and effects in Unreal Engine 5 to a stylised, art-directed final-quality standard.
• Move to whatever production needs most at a given point rather than staying in one fixed lane.
• Build and dress assets and environments, author materials and textures, and light to the established look.
• Follow the team's pipeline and standards while meeting the real-time performance budget.
• Work within a Perforce-based UE5 pipeline.

What you'll need

• A strong UE5 generalist portfolio spanning several of environment art, modeling, texturing and materials, lighting, and effects.
• A stylised, art-directed eye rather than only photoreal work.
• Comfort moving between disciplines and picking up unfamiliar tasks.
• Awareness of real-time efficiency.
• Experience with Perforce or an equivalent version control system.

Bonus

• Experience on a stylised or animation-style IP.
• Deep expertise in one or two disciplines alongside generalist breadth.
• Familiarity with major-studio quality and review processes.
