🦄 Description
Vanguard is a co-op FPS being developed in Unreal Engine 5.8, currently targeting a vertical slice.
The Environment Artist will dress and light an existing single-player strike map consisting of three encounter rooms, connecting corridors, a boss arena, and a small armory room used as the main-menu backdrop. An optional modular sci-fi kitbash library is provided, so the work does not start from a blank slate. Corridors are open for expansion proposals, while arena gameplay volumes are locked.
Lighting is a first-class deliverable using Lumen and Ultra Dynamic Sky. The completed environment must maintain 60 FPS at 1080p on a 3060-class GPU during combat and be delivered directly in-engine as project content.
