ENVIRONMENT ARTIST

We’re looking for experienced and passionate Environment Artists for a large-budget next-generation military shooter. If you’d like to play a key role in the development of a fully funded AAA game that will also be used by America’s leading military and intelligence organizations for training, we’d like to speak with you right away.

Our artists are involved in all aspects of each game's creation, including the brainstorming of level ideas, modeling, texturing, effects, etc. We believe in the value of small, cross-disciplined, passionate teams and strive to create an environment where exceptional people can create exceptional things.

We are looking for artists with strong traditional and 3D skills who have a history of producing exceptional work for a number of videogames. We are especially interested in how you use color, light and texture to build realistic 3D environments with an eye for optimal use of polygons. Of course, you must also be proficient at Photoshop and either 3ds Max or Maya. Knowledge of Zbrush or Mudbox is a plus.

For consideration, a resume and demo-reel/website must be submitted to jobs@destineerstudios.com.

WHY DESTINEER:

Like many videogame developers, Destineer offers competitive compensation, great benefits packages, a fridge filled with free stuff, and a fun working environment. But, we also offer some unique qualities for you to consider:

IMPACT. We reject the assembly-line production systems of most large studios, where masses swarm a project and then move on to the next. Instead, we build focused teams of people who stay with a project to completion and are given the responsibility and support needed to craft a masterpiece.

TECHNOLOGY. Unlike most game developers, we build our core technologies from scratch. We do this so we can make games that look and play differently than games created with licensed engines. Our technologies for the next-generation consoles offer many of the key graphics features of the brand-name engines while being architecturally unique.

RELEVANCE. Destineer’s mission is to give videogame players authentic insight into the experiences of our heroes while making tools these same heroes can use to train for their life-and-death operations. We work closely with the guys on the very front lines of America’s military and intelligence activities to create the most culturally relevant videogames we can. It’s pretty cool going home at night knowing that your work could capture the imagination of millions of videogame players while also preparing those on America’s front lines for their very dangerous missions.
