Job Description

3D Character Artist

Epoch Games is a volunteer-based, all-online, global game development team. We have no centrally-located headquarters and are unincorporated at this time. Most of the original founding members were modders developing the total conversion Middle Earth Roleplaying Project (MERP) mod for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Currently Epoch Games is developing The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order (LoA:SO). LoA:SO is an in-development indie open-world RPG set in an original fantasy world. The game is being developed using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4. Communication is mostly done via Slack and Trello.

Job Description

In this volunteer position we are looking for someone who specializes in creating realistic 3D Character Body, Face, Hair and/or Clothing/Armor Meshes and Textures for our game "The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order" (LoA:SO). We are currently using Reallusion Character Creator 3 to create out Human Characters. It is used to Sculpt Characters. While CC3 offers some Hair and Clothing/Armor options, we especially need 3D Character Artists to create Hair, Clothing and Armor that our Project needs that CC3 can't provide. While experience with CC3 is recommended, we aren't requiring it for new 3D Character Artists. If you don't own a copy of CC3, we can get you a copy of the software. Communication is key to a smooth and efficient pipeline. You must be able to communicate clearly and effectively with other team-members and not be afraid to ask should any problems arise. We are an English-speaking team, so English fluency is a must. If you are comfortable with teaching, you may be called upon to aid the more junior members of the team in any relevant area. Other duties include following team policies as well as attending meetings through Slack.
