Senior 3D Environment Artist

We are looking for a highly skilled 3D Environment Artist to completely redesign and rebuild game levels at modern, high-fidelity quality.

These levels were originally created in 2011 and must now be reimagined with contemporary detail, strong artistic direction, optimized geometry, and real-time browser performance in mind.

This is not a minor polish pass — we want a dramatic visual upgrade.

🎮 The Project

We are rebuilding a former #1 iOS app with over 7 million downloads — as a modern game featuring unique 3D environments.

Each level is themed around a real-world-inspired location, including:

• Circus
• City park
• Las Vegas strip
• Egyptian pyramids
• Active volcano
• Niagara Falls
• And more

In each level, the player walks on a tightrope high above the ground between two endpoint structures.

The visual bar is high: modern HD quality, rich detail, strong atmosphere, and optimized performance.

🧱 What You’ll Build (Per Level)

Each level must include:

• Two endpoint structures (start & end platforms)
• Empty space between them (we add the rope in code)
• Ground / terrain below
• Background scenery
• Props
• Sky treatment

Do NOT include:

• Character
• Rope
• Projectiles
• UI
• Particles
• Baked lighting

🛠 Technical Specifications (Non-Negotiable)

Format .glb (glTF binary)

Source File - Blender (.blend) preferred

Triangles - 80k–120k per level (150k hard max)

Materials - Maximum 8

Textures - Max 2048×2048

Maps - PBR (albedo, normal, roughness/metallic)

Scale - 1 unit = 1 meter

Lighting - Do NOT bake (handled in engine)

Origin - (0,0,0) = rope starting point

Axis - Rope runs along +Z, Up = +Y

Must be optimized for:

• Three.js (WebGL2)
• Apple SceneKit

Minimize materials and draw calls — use texture atlases wherever possible.

📦 Deliverables (Per Level)

1. Final .glb file
2. Blender source file (.blend)
3. Texture maps as separate PNG files

👤 Ideal Candidate

• Strong experience in high-quality stylized or semi-realistic environments
• Deep understanding of optimization for WebGL / real-time rendering
• Excellent Blender workflow
• Strong PBR texturing knowledge
• Clean topology and efficient scene management
• Ability to dramatically elevate legacy content to modern standards
