🦄 Description
We’re looking for a 3D Environment Artist to join Ibru, an investigation-focused RPG set in a dense, hand-crafted science-fantasy world.
This is a production-oriented, hands-on role focused on creating game-ready environment assets and implementing them directly in Unreal Engine 5.

🚀 Responsibilities
• Create modular environment assets including architecture, props, and set dressing for Unreal Engine
• Implement assets in-engine with correct scale, pivots, LODs, collisions, and material setup
• Work within established visual, technical, and performance constraints
• Collaborate with art direction, level design, and technical art to support gameplay and narrative spaces
• Iterate on assets based on in-engine feedback rather than offline renders

📚 Required Skills
• Mid-level experience as a 3D Environment Artist or equivalent production experience
• Strong understanding of game-ready asset creation
• Portfolio with clear in-engine examples including screenshots or videos from Unreal Engine
• Demonstrated meshes with visible polycount, UV layouts, and wireframes
• Ability to create clean, optimized topology for real-time use
• Familiarity with modular workflows and asset reuse
• Comfort receiving feedback and iterating quickly
• Practical experience implementing assets directly in Unreal Engine
• Fluency in a DCC tool such as Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max
• Experience with digital sculpting tools such as ZBrush or 3D Coat
• Familiarity with PBR texturing workflows using Substance, Quixel, or equivalents
• Basic understanding of real-time performance constraints
• Familiarity with trim sheets, texture atlases, and material instances

👍 Nice to Have
• Experience with stylized or non-photorealistic environments
• Prior work on narrative-driven or RPG projects
• Familiarity with PCG systems

🍪 What we offer
• Clear and focused role on a single ambitious project
• Direct collaboration with art direction and level design
• Production-driven environment with real assets shipping to the game
• Remote-friendly collaboration with optional on-site work in Poland
• Fair compensation appropriate to experience
