Technical Artist – Dynamic Art

At Rockstar Games, we create the games we would want to play ourselves.

A career at Rockstar is about being part of a team working on some of the most creatively rewarding, large-scale projects to be found in any entertainment medium. You would be welcomed to a friendly, inclusive environment where you can learn, and collaborate with some of the most talented people in the industry.

Rockstar India is on the lookout for a talented Technical Artist (Junior/ Mid- Level) who possesses a passion for inventing and improving workflows to enhance game development. As part of the Technical Art team, you will work closely with Artists across all studios to ensure they can efficiently create and refine Art to the highest standard expected for our titles. This is a full-time permanent position based out of Rockstar’s unique game development studio in Bangalore.

WHAT WE DO

• Bring innovation and resolution to technical problems and challenges throughout Art production - from content creation through to the game.
• Create and maintain tools that improve our Art creation/editing workflows.
• Provide general support for Art team and document/share solutions/knowledge with the wider team.
• Proactively use knowledge and experience to identify and solve problems before they affect the Art team.
• Work closely with fellow Technical Artists as part of wider global team working on interconnected tools and systems.
• Collaborate and communicate with other departments (aside from the Art department) such as Core/Runtime Tools and Engine teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• This is a Technical Artist position with a Dynamic Art specialism. This means the tasks, while varied, will relate mainly to Dynamic Art (Characters/Props/Vehicles).
• Creating and developing tools to help author and manage high quality Dynamic art in large open worlds.
• Writing standalone tools (in C#) which will help glue the various packages and inhouse tooling together into a cohesive pipeline across Dynamic art.
• Setting up automated processes to propagate changes across a large number of art assets and help support artists in their day-to-day work.

QUALIFICATIONS

• A relevant degree or professional experience in the game industry as a Technical Artist or Artist.
• An online portfolio showing relevant examples of your work.

SKILLS

• Knowledge of C#.
• Strong communication and organizational skills.
• Effective time management skills to meet deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• This is a Technical Art position – while it requires coding skills to develop tools, it may also require handling assets for various R&D and debugging work, so an Artistic eye is needed as well as a drive to always push a high User Friendliness in every tool and pipeline produced.

PLUSES

Please note that these are desirable skills and are not required to apply for the position.

• Experience in other scripting and programming languages (Python, MaxScript).
• Experience using 3dsMax.
• Experience with Character Rigging and/or writing rigging tools.
