- Bring a wide variety of FX to life in a dynamic world
- Own the entire process, from concept to reality in a variety of art styles that don't rely on spritesheet animation
- Show the team what an FX Artist armed with Houdini can add to the mix
- Create lasting memories and experiences that inspire all generations of players
What we're looking for
- Must have a strong reel/portfolio showing your best real-time FX work
- Well versed in carrying FX tasks from conception to completion, owning the entire process
- Experienced using Houdini to create art assets and tools for real-time FX needs in Unreal
- Comfortable working with Blueprint
- You enjoy sharing and teaching those around you what's possible with Houdini in your toolkit
- You understand the shifting scale of quality and how to achieve it when working on a multiplatform project
