Do you love working with high-end VR or AAA titles? Do you cherish the feeling you get knowing you've been part of a hit game? Supermassive are carving a unique and exciting path in the games industry, and are looking for a Senior Lighting Artist to join them on their journey!
Supermassive Games are a large and very successful AAA developer, based in one of the UK's largest game development hubs. They already have a catalogue of blockbuster and chart-topping titles in their arsenal, and they're looking to build on that strong foundation with YOUR help. Their games include the very popular Until Dawn, and a number of other cinematically beautiful, narrative-driven games. I'm looking for an experienced Lighting Artist to play a key role within this BAFTA-winning developer.
As the Senior Lighting Artist, you'll be responsible for taking charge of a team of lighting artists and will oversee the quality of results and productivity of the team for one of their cinematic games.
Your day-to-day tasks will include the following:
Working with the Art Director to fully understand the visual style and visual goals for the project
Ensuring the work done within the team meets these goals by working closely with the artists, reviewing their work and offering artistic guidance when needed
Working with Production departments to set project timeframes, accurately accessing how long lighting tasks will take
Ensuring that the team is able to meet project goals, in the scheduled time, and stays motivated to achieve great results
Working with the technical department to ensure lighting work is within budget and maintains performance goals
Leading by example when needed, and producing amazing work to inspire the team
The skills and XP you'll need to succeed:
At least 5+ years of experience as a lighting artist, or equivalent senior artist role, working on at least one AAA title
In-depth understanding and practical experience of lighting in either real-time gaming engines or in high-end CGI productions
Strong technical understanding of real time rendering processes in modern game engines
A strong portfolio of work which demonstrates your ability as an artist
A proven track record of being an effective leader in an art discipline
