3D Artist

About the Role

At Quantum Arcadia, we are shaping the future of immersive gaming by creating lifelike VR worlds that merge reality with virtual exploration. Our flagship project, a VR city exploration game, lets players walk, drive, and interact within expansive urban environments filled with detail and realism.

We are seeking a talented 3D artist with 1–3 years of experience (or a strong portfolio) to design, model, and optimize city environments, buildings, and props that bring our vision to life. This is a hands-on role where creativity meets performance, requiring both artistic skill and technical precision to ensure assets are VR-ready and optimized for Meta Quest 3.

As part of a cross-functional team of VR developers, AI/ML engineers, and game designers, you will play a pivotal role in building environments that are both visually compelling and performance-friendly.

​

What You'll Do

• Create high-quality 3D models of urban environments, buildings, and props for VR gameplay.
• Develop textures and materials using Substance Painter/Designer to achieve realism and consistency.
• Ensure all assets are optimized for VR, with careful attention to poly count, UV mapping, and performance constraints.
• Build Level of Detail (LOD) variations and performance-friendly assets to ensure seamless scaling in large city environments.
• Collaborate with developers to integrate assets into Unity, ensuring proper lighting, shaders, and prefab setup.
• Work closely with 3D artists, designers, and engineers to maintain consistent art direction and quality standards.
• Troubleshoot and refine assets to resolve issues in Unity, including lightmaps, collisions, and material setup.
• Stay updated with industry trends and propose new techniques that enhance the visual quality and efficiency of asset production.

​

Must-Haves

• 1–3 years of experience as a 3D Artist or a portfolio that demonstrates strong modeling and texturing skills.
• Proficiency in Blender or Maya for modeling.
• Strong texturing skills using Substance Painter.
• Ability to optimize poly counts and create performance-friendly assets.
• Experience in LOD creation and UV mapping workflows.
• Understanding of best practices for VR asset creation (low draw calls, baked lighting, and clean topology).

​

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with Unity asset integration (prefabs, lightmaps, materials, shaders).
• Basic sculpting knowledge in ZBrush.
• Knowledge of GPU instancing or procedural workflows for environment scalability.
• Exposure to shader work or procedural material creation.

​

Location & Work Model

• Onsite, Vadodara, India
• Work in a collaborative studio environment with developers, designers, and engineers.
