Our studios in Novato, Foothill Ranch, Irvine, Budapest, Shanghai, Austin, Boise, Seoul, and Parksville, Canada are committed to artistry and technical innovation, offering top candidates the opportunity to learn and grow with some of the smartest and most creative minds in the industry.

Our Budapest studio is seeking an Environment Artist to join our development efforts on the next iteration of the award-winning NBA 2K franchise! Within this role, you will partner with artists and team members to build beautiful yet performant environments and arenas through modeling, texturing, and set dressing.

The Environment Art group is a people focused diverse art team where we put effort where it pays off the most, pick up our teammates when we encounter headwinds in our lives, and pride ourselves in working effectively without sacrificing mental health. We prize the happiness that comes from helping the team do our best work and take credit as a team. Afterwards we blow off some steam and play games together. Give us a chance to meet you so we can tell you more!

 

What You Will Do:

  • Work with the art lead, art producer, and the environment team at large to create and populate environmental play spaces, pieces, and in-game cinematics
  • Bring white-boxed spaces to life with visual storytelling, without detracting from gameplay
  • Adhere to visual tenants of an established visual design, but push the boundaries of what is possible or expected
  • Ensure assets are fully optimized and performant while minimizing impact on artistic integrity
  • Proactively seek feedback to ensure accuracy and quality standards are met
  • Collaborate with other artists and departments throughout the production process

 

Who Will Be A Great Fit:

  • Excellent English communication verbal and written skills, especially with a remote team. Be an excellent written communicator on messaging and coworking systems like Slack, Figma, Miro, etc.
  • Minimum 3 years experience in a digital art content creation pipeline
  • Have a solid sense of color theory, composition, typography with current design trends.
  • Curiosity to learn and assemble your work with our powerful proprietary game engine tools.
  • Interface with design and engineering to implement final art into the game engine.
  • Comfortable working in Maya and Adobe Suite.
  • Be unyielding on naming conventions and understand the importance of them
  • Have experience working with instanced art asset pipelines
  • Learn and work predominantly in our proprietary assembly tool
  • Know how to offer and take constructive criticism. Ability to take direction well.
  • A strong work ethic is important – managing your own time, you pride yourself in having capacity to work autonomously.
  • Able to diagnose and solve problems quickly and independently

Along with your application, please submit a portfolio of professional or personal work samples, demonstrating successful understanding and application of industry standard practices
