Cloud Imperium Games seeks a Props Artist to create a diverse range of high-quality game assets, both with and without pre-existing concepts.  Responsibilities include pushing the visual and technical quality of artwork, collaborating with other departments to meet specific design and technical requirements, and creating highly detailed, functional, and beautiful assets for use by players and AI.  The ideal candidate will possess expertise in hard-surface modeling, material creation, high-poly modeling, texture baking, and a fundamental understanding of soft furnishings or organic asset creation.  They should be highly self-motivated, able to work independently and collaboratively, and thrive in a challenging and fast-paced environment.  The role involves creating intricate hard-surface props (furniture, dressing assets), soft furnishings, organic assets, and complex interactable objects for their space simulation game.

We are developing Star Citizen and Squadron 42 across 5 studios in Los Angeles, Austin, Manchester, and Frankfurt.
