About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Props Artist / Reviewer on a freelance basis. In this role, you will be responsible for reviewing and approving 3D props assets created by external vendors to ensure they meet our artistic vision, technical requirements, and project standards.

You will provide clear, constructive feedback to guide revisions, maintain asset consistency, and oversee their integration into the game engine. This position requires a keen eye for artistic detail, technical proficiency, and the ability to communicate effectively with distributed teams.

Although this role is remote, successful candidates must be located in Ontario, Quebec, or British Columbia and must be available to work West Coast (PST) hours to align with our production teams.

Responsibilities and Duties

  • Review 3D props assets (models, materials, textures, and UV layouts) delivered by external vendors for visual and technical quality.
  • Provide actionable, detailed feedback to vendors to ensure adherence to project style guides and specifications.
  • Integrate approved props into the game engine, ensuring correct setup, scale, and optimization.
  • Collaborate closely with internal leads, technical artists, and production teams to maintain pipeline efficiency.
  • Identify and troubleshoot visual or technical issues related to props assets.
  • Maintain documentation and communicate best practices for props production and asset review.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 1+ year of experience in a props artist or reviewer / outsourcing management role.
  • At least one shipped title (console, PC, or equivalent).
  • Strong understanding of prop art principles: modeling, texturing, materials, and real-time optimization.
  • Proficient with Unreal Engine or a comparable real-time engine.
  • Experienced in industry-standard tools such as Maya, Blender, Substance Painter/Designer, Photoshop, and ZBrush.
  • Excellent communication and feedback delivery skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain consistency across multiple props assets.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience managing or reviewing outsourced 3D props teams.
  • Familiarity with procedural workflows and optimization techniques for real-time rendering.
  • Experience with version control tools such as Perforce or Git.
  • Understanding of performance budgets and best practices for large-scale game worlds.
