Job Description


As a Character Modeler at Ubi MTL, you'll create people, creatures, and animals for players to interact and connect with. You’ll combine your artistic and technical talents to form the physical features that define the characters that live within our worlds.

You enjoy the detailed, versatile, far-from-boring character development process. To you, creating new blend shapes, good edge flow, and optimized meshes are opportunities to push your skills. Always eager to improve, you’re constantly on the lookout for feedback to refine your art and build the best foundation for characters to be brought to life.

What you’ll do

  • Collaborate with the art and narrative teams to understand the game’s creative and artistic visions;
  • Study concept art & narrative guidelines and research your own references to prototype character features (face, physique, clothing, etc.);
  • Develop and polish your character art throughout the 3D pipeline (modeling, sculpting, texturing, retopologizing, UV unwrapping, etc.);
  • Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints to achieve aesthetic quality and technical functionality;
  • Partner with riggers and animators to make characters move believably;
  • Adapt your work based on feedback from play testers and interdependent teams.

Qualifications


What you bring

  • Solid experience in modeling or texturing (or other related experience)
  • Knowledge of 2D art tools (e.g. Photoshop) and 3D software (3DS Max, Maya, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer, and ZBrush) *
  • Solid understanding of topology, materials, textures, proportion, and anatomy + animation and game limitations (poly count, memory, etc.)
  • A highly creative, collaborative, and innovative spirit
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Motivation to reach out for feedback and adapt to it
  • Knowledge of 3D scanning and optimization techniques, a huge plus

Just a heads up: If you require a work permit, your eligibility may depend on your education and years of relevant work experience, as required by the government.

What to send our way

  • Your CV, highlighting your education, experience, and skills

  • A portfolio of your best 3D work – especially the transition of a 2D design into a 3D character! Attach images or send us a link to your personal website or online portfolio.
