    Job description

    In this volunteer position we are looking for someone who specializes in creating realistic 3D Character Body, Face, Hair and/or Clothing/Armor Meshes and Textures for our game "The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order" (LoA:SO).
    We are currently using Reallusion Character Creator 3 (https://www.reallusion.com/character-creator/) to create out Human Characters. It is used to Sculpt Characters. While CC3 offers some Hair and Clothing/Armor options, we especially need 3D Character Artists to create Hair, Clothing and Armor that our Project needs that CC3 can't provide. While experience with CC3 is recommended, we aren't requiring it for new 3D Character Artists. If you don't own a copy of CC3, we can get you a copy of the software.
    Communication is key to a smooth and efficient pipeline. You must be able to communicate clearly and effectively with other team-members and not be afraid to ask should any problems arise. We are an English-speaking team, so English fluency is a must.
    If you are comfortable with teaching, you may be called upon to aid the more junior members of the team in any relevant area.
    Other duties include following team policies (given through team orientation as upon acceptance to the team) as well as attending meetings through Slack (our instant message program that we use to communicate)

    • Creating realistic Human Character Meshes and Textures
    • Creating realistic Human Clothing / Armor Meshes and Textures
    • Creating Human Hair sculpts using Hair Card and Alpha Planes
    • Physically-based Rendering (PBR) experience for game sculpting required

    • Able to work with and provide constructive criticism and feedback.
    • Communication and Team-collaboration skills.
    • A passion for modeling and a dedication to creating AAA quality games.
