cView Studios is a game art outsourcing studio based in Malta, working on an upcoming 3D sci-fi project.

• Skilled artists in their respective disciplines with portfolio evidence, including wireframes, UV layouts, and breakdowns.
• Familiarity with the specified pipeline tools: Maya, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter/Designer, Marvelous Designer, XGen, and Unreal Engine 5.
• Ability to work remotely with contracts negotiated per asset.
• Willingness to sign NDA before project material access.
• For Rigging and Animation Artists, knowledge of MetaHuman rigs and associated tools.

Hard Surface Artist:

• Create spacecraft, stations, and shuttles workflows from blockout to high-poly to game-res with clean topology.

Texture Artist:

• Produce PBR texturing for hard-surface, prop, and set assets with panelling, wear, and material separation suitable for close-ups.
• Utilize trim sheets and tileables, preferably with Substance 3D Painter/Designer and optionally Unreal material setup.
• Provide texture breakdowns in addition to beauty renders.

Character Artist:

• Sculpt realistic humans and humanoid aliens based on MetaHuman.
• Develop likeness sculpting, costumes, uniforms (using Marvelous Designer), prosthetics, alien features, and hair-ready heads.
• Ensure clean integration on MetaHuman body and face topology.

Rigging Artist:

• Extend MetaHuman rigs with costume skinning and clothing deformation.
• Rig non-standard bodies, heads, props, and attachments.
• Perform mechanical rigging for ships (doors, landing gear, moving parts).
• Use Maya skinning and Unreal Control Rig.

Groom Artist:

• Create hair, beards, brows, and lashes, including non-human variations.
• Use XGen interactive grooms exported to Alembic for Unreal, compatible with MetaHuman groom components.
• Provide hair-card versions.

Animation Artist:

• Animate body and facial motions on MetaHuman rigs using Unreal Engine tools: Control Rig, Sequencer, in-editor animation tools, IK Rig, IK Retargeter, and MetaHuman Animator.
• Produce locomotion sets, idles, gestures, dialogue, cinematic sequences, and mocap cleanup.
