This role sits within the game art outsourcing pipeline, where VFX Artists produce real-time effects for AAA game titles spanning characters, environments, weapons, and more. It suits experienced VFX professionals who are comfortable working independently within a remote game art production workflow and want consistent access to high-profile projects.

About the Role

Liquid Development operates as a large outsourcing art studio supporting some of the most recognized franchises in game production, including titles in the Halo, Mass Effect, Borderlands, and Call of Duty series. A VFX Artist joining the talent pool will be matched to projects as they come online, contributing real-time VFX assets through a remote production pipeline. Day-to-day work involves creating both stylized and photorealistic effects inside Unreal Engine, troubleshooting technical implementation issues, and iterating quickly based on art direction feedback.

Key Responsibilities

• Create real-time VFX assets across a range of game content types including characters, environments, and weapons within Unreal Engine.
• Develop both stylized and photorealistic visual effects that meet the technical and aesthetic requirements of each AAA game production.
• Troubleshoot performance and implementation issues that arise during the VFX pipeline, resolving them without disrupting delivery schedules.
• Iterate on VFX work based on art direction notes, maintaining a constructive and self-directed approach throughout the feedback process.
• Contribute to a remote game art team where output quality directly reflects on Liquid Development’s standing with major franchise clients.
• Deliver polished, production-ready assets that meet the technical specifications of the game engine and platform targets in use.

What You Bring

• A portfolio of recent VFX work for video games is required to be considered, no exceptions.
• Hands-on experience with Unreal Engine in a game art production context.
• Demonstrated ability to produce both stylized and photorealistic real-time visual effects across varied game content categories.
• English proficiency at a B2 level or higher, with a CV submitted in English.
• Experience with Maya, Embergen, Houdini, or HLSL is a plus, as is any background in technical art or proprietary engine work.
