Video Game Modeling Specialist at Meridial Marketplace, by Invisible
Meridial Marketplace, by Invisible, is seeking highly skilled 3D modeling specialists with expertise across hard surface and organic modeling to create accurate, production-ready digital assets from 2D reference material. This includes replicating real-world objects, environments, and living forms with volumetric fidelity for a cutting-edge AI training project.
What You’ll Do
- Translate 2D reference images into precise 3D models, ensuring accuracy in geometry, proportions, and topology.
- Source supplementary references to resolve occlusions, blurry details, or incomplete imagery.
- Produce high-quality models across distinct asset categories:
- Hard surface: vehicles, props, machinery.
- Organic: humans (including realistic digital doubles), animals, plants, and natural forms.
- Environment & architecture: buildings, landscapes, set pieces, and world assets.
- Iterate on models based on feedback, aligning assets with project quality standards and artistic direction.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in 3D Art, Animation, Game Design, Computer Graphics, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Demonstrated proficiency in industry-standard modeling tools (e.g., Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Houdini, 3ds Max) and familiarity with texturing/UV workflows (e.g., Substance Painter, Mari).
- A portfolio showcasing a range of hard surface, organic, and environmental assets, ideally for film, games, AR/VR, or other interactive media.
- Strong understanding of anatomy, form, and material definition.
- Ability to clearly communicate process and problem-solving steps (“show your work”).
- Comfortable in iterative pipelines, with a collaborative mindset and openness to feedback.
Compensation and Work Details
We offer a pay rate of $22 per hour. As a contractor, you’ll supply a secure computer and high-speed internet; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
