What’s It All About

You are a talented artist that enjoys the challenges of expressing abstract ideas through the animation and creation of visual effects. You enjoy tweaking particle generators and designing new ways to make something explode or burn or making waves crash on the shore. You have experience working with organic and mechanical effects and are able to represent a magic missile as easily as an exploding grenade.

A Typical Day

You sit down with a team of designers and animators to discuss a new ability for players; including how the ability works and brainstorming some ideas for the visual effects. After the meeting, you head back to your desk to start creating a particle system that will express the new ability. You come up with a few examples and gather feedback before adding it to the game for everyone to take a look.

Who You Work With the Most

You end up working with the designers, animators and technical artists the most. Making sure that the effects match the systems that have been designed as well as making sure the performance requirements are met.

What You’ve Done Before

• Experience creating and animating expressive visual effects utilizing Photoshop, Unreal, and 3d Studio (or equivalent programs).
• Ability to create natural and fantastical effects based on design requirements.
• Understanding of technical requirements and performance considerations for effects pipelines.
• Ability to work alone and as part of a team.
• Able to match existing art style guides.
• A passion for games.
• Previous games experience is a bonus.
