3D Character Artist
Valve Corporation
Though we don’t have a specific position open at this time, and we’re not actively seeking people with any specific qualifications, we’re always looking to add talented individuals to our team.
Character artists at Valve work with a world-class group of software engineers, artists, writers, animators, and designers who are continually building and releasing entertainment experiences to players around the globe. We're always looking to add expertise in character design and sculpting to our team!
Valve is an entertainment and technology company driven to design and deliver extraordinary entertainment experiences to customers. We hire people with broad skill sets who also exhibit deep expertise. Character artists at Valve contribute in all aspects of our character pipeline: we sculpt high-resolution models (ZBrush, Mudbox or 3DCoat), craft low-resolution game models, and author high-quality textures suitable for PBR workflows. We collaborate with concept artists to iterate on character designs and work with animators to build characters that can move and perform believably. We work in interdisciplinary design teams to help bring characters to life while making them work in the context of our game design. We also recruit artists like you.
Do you prefer to collaborate with peers to define the work that you pursue, rather than simply follow a vision that's been set for you? If you're seeking an opportunity to work on genre-defining games with other world-class artists, consider joining Valve. We can't wait to see where you'll take us!
Please provide a portfolio of work which demonstrates the following:
- High-level organic and hard-surface modeling experience in games or films
- Your ability to model characters in a variety of styles with an emphasis on character design
- Your direct contribution to both the conceptual thinking behind and the physical creation of detailed, high-quality products
- A thorough understanding of human anatomy
- Pride in and personal ownership of your work
- Drawing, sculpting, and other traditional art skills is a plus
Sorry, we do not accept student portfolios.
