Game Artist (3D - VFX - UEFN)

Job Description

Come be part of a new team at Ghost Gaming, where we are cultivating the best talent in games to push the boundaries of user-generated content (UGC) in Fortnite. You will report directly to the Head of Game Development, becoming our internal game art expert and working with our game development partners to produce high-quality, portable assets which meet the performance requirements of Fortnite Creative. This is an entrepreneurial role that will blend the responsibilities of a technical artist with several 3D art roles—generalists are encouraged to apply!

Responsibilities:

• Create VFX using Niagara inside the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).
• Be a strong generalist, willing to create or modify 3D assets, textures, lighting, animations, and any other art the project may need.
• Implement, support, and maintain your work across our games portfolio.
• Ensure optimization for your work within the memory limits of UEFN.
• Be the game art expert, following new developments, best practices, etc.

About the Team:

The Ghost Gaming development group is responsible for all game projects, including with internal and external teams. Our goal is to create innovative and long-lasting games within the Fortnite ecosystem, learning along the way and bringing joy to players across the globe.

You will join our group and work within a multidisciplinary team of developers, publishers, leaders, content creators, and more. This is a permanent position based in Atlanta, Georgia. Remote work and relocation are not offered for this role.

What would make you a great candidate:

• Education: B.F.A., related field or equivalent working experience, or self-taught with a relevant portfolio we can review.
• Knowledge: Familiarity with Niagara, GlueIT, Blender, and Krita, or similar artist software.
• Experience: Developed games with UEFN, Unreal Engine, or another game engine (e.g. Unity, Godot, Roblox Studio).
• Mindset: You thrive at solving hard problems on your own, using a methodical approach.
• Passion: You enjoy working across the full art pipeline, bringing life to an entirely new world while creating art that is beautiful at both high and low graphics (which you understand is important to FPS players) and which shows your strong understanding of form, function, color theory, and detail.
• Personality: You are empathetic, assume good intention and tone, explain your thinking, ask questions and seek to understand perspectives, focus on the subject and not the person, and understand how to agree to disagree with respect for your team and its goals.
• Fortnite: We are making games for Fortnite players, so hopefully you love the game and its many ecosystems (Battle Royale, LEGO®, Rocket Racing, Festival, and more to come).
