The Studio

We are a video game development studio with offices in Guildford, UK and Utrecht, Netherlands. Sitting within the heart of thriving communities of game developers and publishers, we focus on quality and excellence, and our partners and players are always at the front of everything we do.


Games are not just about gameplay. We believe in the importance of balancing every single aspect of a game that you, as a player will interact with; what you see, how you play and how it makes you feel. It couldn’t be a more exciting time to join us as we embark on new unannounced projects, pushing the boundaries of all aspects of the game to create a truly AAA experience.

The Role

As a Senior Environment Artist, you will be creating AAA quality environments, terrain and hard surfaces that populate our worlds. Working closely with the Lead Artist, you will develop and refine new processes and ultimately forge immersive environments to amaze our players, following and contributing to the vision and direction of our Art Director.

Along with a passion for world building and a flair for asset creation, we’re looking for a natural collaborator, who can coordinate with our Art, Design and Production teams. We’re always looking for ways to improve and you can be sure that your experience and suggestions will be valued as part of the Stellar Entertainment team.

You will:

  • Create visually amazing environments and terrains that make the game come to life and enhance the gameplay.
  • Be proactive, methodical and identify dependencies and risks alongside the Production team and the Art Leads.
  • Regularly communicate with the Art team to discuss progress and review work.
  • Be aware of potential risks to the project and bring it to the attention of management
  • Collaborate with all disciplines to understand their requirements and propose solutions.

Requirements

What we’re looking to see on your CV:

  • Experience as a senior supporting a lead within a team and guiding other artists
  • Knowledge of multiple art and animation pipelines
  • Proven experience in creating high quality and optimised foliage assets for AAA console games
  • Excellence in creating believable and natural hard surfaces
  • Strong experience creating rocks and organic assets
  • Excellent knowledge of creating PBR correct textures and materials
  • Professional experience in industry standard art tools such as SpeedTree, Zbrush, Blender/3DS Max/Maya, Photoshop, Substance Designer/Painter, World Machine and Gaea
  • Excellent time management and prioritisation skills
  • Worked on 2 games through the full game production pipeline as a Senior Artist, preferably AAA titles
  • Bachelor’s degree in art, design, technical discipline or other relevant training
  • Shipped AAA game on PC

Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience in Houdini
  • Experience creating hard surface assets
  • Worked on high-end film quality projects
  • Experience in real-time lighting
  • Passion for photography and other art form

Benefits

What you can expect from us:

  • International AAA game projects
  • Access to cutting-edge hardware
  • Flexible/hybrid working (we work 3 days per week on site)
  • Great increasing holiday benefits including Christmas Shutdown
  • Discretionary bonus scheme
