Overview

As we expand our portfolio of free-to-play apps, we’re looking for experienced and ambitious VFX ARTISTS to create captivating real-time effects that delight our players, and reward their deeper engagement, while clearly communicating in-game information. In collaboration with the Creative and Design Teams, you will design and implement effects for our games, and provide feedback to the Design Team, Art Team, and other VFX Artists with a goal to constantly raise our quality bar.

As a self-starting professional, you will take pride in delivering highly performant solutions and enjoy pushing your technical skills to new limits, with the support of your Technical Art and Engineering colleagues. You’ll have a passion for play, a healthy respect for our players, and you won’t take no for an answer when it comes to making our games better.

Needless to say, you will have experience working with 3D packages and in-game FX systems to create a wide range of VFX, as well as a general understanding of good game play communication. A solid grasp of the principles of motion, anticipation, dynamics, follow-through, lighting, and other facets of animation is essential, as well as skill in creating the textures and geometry needed for stylized VFX.

o   Develop and formatting elements for engineers and other developers

o   Designing and maintaining clear naming conventions and organization for files, folder systems and other hand-off vehicles, and archiving assets and source files

o   Managing asset file set up, optimization and troubleshooting performance in game

o   Mentor junior VFX Artists; this includes being a source of knowledge, and the ability to convey that knowledge to your fellow VFX artists in a way that can be easily understood

o   Contribute to and drive R&D with Engineers, Technical Artists and CG colleagues to maximize PLAYSTUDIOS’ technology potential, including exploring, testing and making recommendations for new production tools, pipelines and best-practices
