Research in Job specs

I have found a Job Spec for a 3D Environment artist located at Halifax.

They are asking for;

Must have a minimum of 5 years’ experience creating 3D game environments.

1. Passion for creation of visually stunning 3D environments whether natural or Architectural.

2. Zbrush experience in creating high definition environment pieces a large plus

3. Strong technical skills in integrating environments with next generation toolsets (scene

 Lighting, environment optimization and event triggering)

4. Setting the standard for less experienced model

5. Traditional art background advantageous

What do i need to do to reach these requirements!

1. I believe that I already have a passion for creating 3D environments so maybe the only way I could improve in that area is, I could look at more inspiring artist and look up to them as role models.

2. Currently I have no experience in Z brush at all but this can easily be improved with tutorials and plenty of hours sitting down and practising this software.

3. To improve my knowledge in modern day tools to create the best and realistic scenes I could have a look at how modern day games are created and the tools and methods used. I could also ask around with my tutor and lectures for any information on how to find out the industry’s secrets.

4. Not too sure what number 4 is asking me for but I think is to show less experiences modeller’s what the standard of the models should look like. So if this is what it means then this means that I have to make sure there are no flaws in my models such as visible seams and distorted engons.

5. Traditional art is a no brainer, every artist needs traditional knowledge and skills. So the only way to build up my skills for that is to go out with a pencil and some paper and draw some stuff over and over again till it looks perfect.

I have a long way to go to reach these requirements which means plenty of practise and persistence, I will need to be the best at 3D modelling. But let’s not forget that it also states that I need to have a minimum of 5 years’ experience in the games industry so that means that that’s plenty of time for me to learn new software and tools.
