Were hiring: Mid-Level 3D Environment Artist

We are building an Indian mythic game project, and we are looking for a mid-level 3D Environment Artist who can help shape the visual foundation of the game during a critical early build phase.

This is an early-stage indie startup role, suited for someone who wants to help build the foundation with us during a focused demo milestone.

Role: Mid-Level 3D Environment Artist / Game Art Generalist

Experience: Around 25 years of hands-on game art or 3D environment art experience

Work mode: Fully remote initially; future office location will be Pune

Preference: Pune-based candidates will be prioritized

Commitment: Full-time

Compensation: 2.43 LPA CTC for the initial engagement

Trial: 1-month paid probation/evaluation period, followed by a fixed-term engagement if both sides are aligned

You will help us build the visual foundation of the main game, with focus on:

• Game-ready 3D environment assets, props, and modular level pieces
• Level blockouts, playable spaces, and environment layouts
• Unity scene dressing, visual composition, and environment polish
• Basic 2D/3D VFX for atmosphere, combat, abilities, and environmental moments
• Visual exploration, mood boards, paintovers, and artwork references
• Practical asset preparation with awareness of optimization and real-time performance
• Working closely with developers and designers on a demo-focused build

• Strong portfolio showing 3D environments, props, stylized assets, or game-ready work
• Good understanding of scale, composition, lighting, and player readability
• Ability to work with Unity scenes or collaborate closely with Unity developers
• Working knowledge of modeling, UVs, texturing, materials, and optimization
• Experience with tools like Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Photoshop, Unity, or similar tools
• Basic knowledge of Unity Particle System, VFX Graph, shaders, or effect creation is a strong plus
• Interest in Indian mythic / Indic fantasy visual design is a strong plus

This is an early core-team opportunity with a lean initial compensation structure, suited for someone excited to help build an indie game from the ground up. We are looking for ownership, consistency, and strong contribution during this demo-focused phase. Future role growth and core-team benefits may be considered based on contribution, commitment, performance, and company structure.
