Stormfront Studios is looking for a Senior Character Modeler or Character Modeler to work on our console action adventure games, following up on our success with The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (PS2/Xbox, published by EA, based on the film by Peter Jackson) and Demon Stone (PS2/Xbox, published by Atari).

We work on AAA-quality console games, often tied to major motion pictures with tight schedule requirements. We are currently in production on a console action-adventure game. We're also preparing the strategic groundwork for the transition to the next-generation console platforms.

Stormfront is dedicated to creating a world-class art team comprised of passionate, mature individuals who understand the value of teamwork and are dedicated to their craft. We seek only the best and the brightest to join our talented art staff.


Desired Skills and Qualifications:

Demonstrated character modeling skills using Maya with knowledge of both cinematic and game modeling workflows.
Understanding of edge looping techniques, as well as NURBS, POLYGON, and SubD workflows.
Demonstrated abilities in Photoshop and/or Painter Texturing.
Understanding of anatomy (creatures and/or humanoids) as well as the ability to adapt to various artistic styles.
Experience creating the appropriate blend shapes for facial animation is a major plus.

College degree and experience in either film or games or equivalent combination of education and experience.
You must be willing to commit to an aggressive standard of excellence, and to reflect that commitment in your personal work ethic, persistence and drive.


How to Apply:

We've built our production team over the last 16 years by finding the best animators, artists, audio engineers, designers, producers and programmers and providing them with unique and creative career challenges. If you're looking for experienced and supportive project management, a healthy team atmosphere, and an outstanding creative opportunity where high standards are respected and contributions are recognized, we would like to talk to you.

Please e-mail or mail your resume and samples of your artwork to us. Your reel should consist of examples of both high-res and low-res models, with emphasis on humanoid character models. It should include fully rendered and textured models as well as renders of the wire mesh. Examples of texture layout for faces and/or bodies are also useful. You may also submit any relevant fine art samples, such as character concept designs, life drawings or sketches etc. Art samples may be submitted in the following formats: CD, DVD, portfolio, ZIP files, personal website or Video.

Please only send copies of your art, not originals. If you'd like you artwork returned, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
