3D Artist XR & Unity (Freelance possible)

📋 Tasks and responsibilities

Voor een innovatieve XR- en robotica-omgeving in de veiligheidssector zoeken we een 3D Modeller die meebouwt aan XR-simulatoren voor opleiding en voorbereiding op uiteenlopende scenario’s.

In deze rol lever je een belangrijke bijdrage aan het uitwerken van realistische, performante en kwalitatieve 3D-assets voor trainingssimulaties. Je expertise in Blender en je kennis van 3D modelling, texturing en optimalisatie zijn essentieel om geloofwaardige XR-omgevingen tot stand te brengen.

• 3D Modelling: Create high-quality, detailed 3D models of characters, vehicles, props, weapons, and environments in Blender for use in XR training simulators.
• Texturing & Materials: Develop realistic textures and materials using PBR workflows to enhance the visual fidelity and immersion of XR simulations.
• Optimization: Optimize models, topology, and texture sizes (LODs, poly counts, UV layouts) to ensure smooth performance across different XR platforms.
• Asset Integration: Prepare, export, and integrate Blender assets into Unity, ensuring correct scale, pivot points, materials, and naming conventions.
• Environment Art: Build immersive environments, buildings, and props that accurately reflect real-world locations and operational scenarios.
• Prototyping: Rapidly prototype and iterate on 3D assets and environments to refine the training experience.
• Documentation: Maintain clear and up-to-date documentation of asset pipelines, naming conventions, and processes to support knowledge sharing within the team.
• Collaboration: Work closely with developers, designers, artists, project stakeholders and end users in a multidisciplinary setting.
• Adaptation: Stay up to date with industry trends, tools and techniques in 3D art and XR, and apply them to improve asset quality and pipeline efficiency.

📝 Your profile

• Bachelor’s degree in 3D Art, Game Design, Animation, or a related field.
• Or several years of proven industry experience when no bachelor’s degree is held, supported by a strong portfolio.
• Strong proficiency in Blender, including modelling, sculpting, UV unwrapping, texturing, and material creation.
• Demonstrated experience creating 3D assets and/or environments for games, XR simulators, training or simulation use cases.
• Solid understanding of PBR texturing workflows and tools such as Substance Painter or Substance Designer.
• Experience optimizing assets for real-time rendering on XR platforms such as VR, AR and MR.
• Experience exporting and integrating assets into a game engine, preferably Unity.
• Excellent eye for detail, proportion and realism.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams and with operational end users.
• Proficiency in Dutch, French and/or English.

Pluspunten

• Eerdere ervaring met politiediensten, Defensie of andere veiligheidsdiensten.
• Ervaring met 3D-scanning en digitale reconstructie, zoals LiDAR en fotogrammetrie.
• Ervaring in operationele trainingsomgevingen.
• Ervaring met 3D scans en het optimaliseren ervan is een plus.
