Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. We released League of Legends in 2009 which has since become the most played PC game in the world and a key driver of the explosive growth of Esports. With the release of Valorant, LoL: Wild Rift, Team-fight Tactics & Legends of Runeterra, Riot has now transformed into a multi-game studio, expanding our footprint in Asia and internationally in order to develop new games that can hyper-serve players globally.

As a 3D Generalist, you are an early member of a Research & Development-Shanghai project focused on the China market working closely with the Art Director and other members of the team to develop early game prototypes that define the promise of our game thesis, building organizational confidence in our R&D project & facilitating efficient progress through the R&D development cycle.

You are a broadly skilled 3D artist with diverse and considerable experience in game development, driving 3D prototyping and gameplay exploration efforts with hands-on craft skills, creative problem solving and fast iteration based on goals and timelines set by Art & Product leadership. You are the workhorse behind rapid prototyping and testing efforts, partnering closely with game designers to ensure art & gameplay prototypes that meet product & design goals and also counted on to set a high bar for in-engine 3D art and Art Slice prototypes for player-testing in pre-production later on. The ideal artist for this role is a well-rounded 3D artist with experience creating characters, environments and various in-engine prototypes that prioritize gameplay pillars and player experience while also showcasing the promise of the art style and visual quality.

• Explore and define asset creation workflows that allow for rapid content creation and iteration alongside gameplay prototyping goals, informing tools and technical requirements.
• Create benchmark 3D assets and high-bar in-engine art prototypes that meet pre-production requirements and can be used for player labs testing to build internal confidence.
• Define early asset creation pipelines with your understanding of optimized low poly asset creation such as modular kits & placeholder assets to take into account efficiency, speed, and cross dependencies
• Work with a variety of materials from hand-painted diffuse textures to PBR workflows that require simple shaders and lighting.
• Interpret and push concept designs to the next level while taking into account technical and design constraints such as draw calls, poly counts, texture memory limits, and gameplay boundaries
• Partner with Tech-artists & engineers to drive cross-disciplinary collaboration to ensure that all assets are appropriately optimized, as well as stable workflows that are flexible and sustainable.

Required Qualifications:

• 6+ years professional experience in senior art roles
• Professional 3D craft experience and a portfolio that showcases high-quality artwork as well as proven efficacy with 3D pipelines
• Professional experience working in Maya, Photoshop, and Z-Brush
