Environment Artist

Unreal Engine 5 Environment Artist & Blueprint Generalist - Tears of Libya

Los Angeles, CA (hybrid on-site a few days a month)

About the role

Tears of Libya is a narrative-driven, photorealistic game built in Unreal Engine 5. [1–2 sentences on subject matter and tone.] We're looking for someone who can both build the world and get it running in-engine — modeling environments and props, and wiring them up with Blueprints. This is a hands-on role with a small team, so you'll see your work go from concept to playable.

What you'll do

• Model, texture, and light realistic 3D environments period buildings, interiors, streets, terrain, set dressing, and hero props
• Assemble and optimize those assets into playable levels in Unreal Engine 5 (Nanite, Lumen, World Partition)
• Build and maintain gameplay and interaction systems in Blueprints
• Set up and work with MetaHuman characters: importing, grooming, LODs, clothing, facial and body animation hookups, and integrating them into scenes
• Keep performance in check across target platforms without losing visual fidelity
• Work closely with the director on look, mood, and historical accuracy of environments

What you need

• Shipped or substantially contributed to at least one realistic-looking game or high-fidelity real-time project
• Strong Unreal Engine 5 experience not just familiarity, but day-to-day production work
• Solid Blueprint skills; able to build systems independently, not only tweak existing ones
• MetaHuman experience: creation, customization, and integration into gameplay
• Hard-surface and environment modeling in Maya, Blender, or 3ds Max, plus texturing in Substance Painter/Designer
• Comfortable owning an asset end to end: model → texture → import → place → make it work in-engine
• Based in Los Angeles or close enough to come into the office a few times a month

Nice to have

• Historical or period environment work, or strong photo-reference discipline
• Photogrammetry / scan cleanup
• Lighting and cinematic sequencing in Unreal (Sequencer)

To apply
