What You’ll Do
We’re looking for a Senior 3D Character Artist to help bring the biggest WWE Superstars to life in WWE Champions. In this role, you’ll sculpt and build high-quality, game-ready characters that are instantly recognizable to fans while fitting the game’s visual language of stylized realism. You’ll collaborate closely with animation, tech art, design, and production to take characters from reference and concept through to polished, engine-ready assets. This is a hands-on role for an artist who deeply understands character art requirements and can execute from early blockout through final, optimized assets. Responsibilities will include:
Sculpting high-quality character models that capture accurate, recognizable likenesses of real WWE Superstars - facial structure, physique, and signature details fans will scrutinize
Building optimized, low-poly, game-ready meshes from scratch, ready for engine integration on mobile
Modeling and sculpting clothing, ring gear, and accessories with believable material, weight, and fabric behavior
Interpreting concept art, photo reference, and art direction to hit both true likeness and the game’s stylized-realism art direction and proportions
Creating clean UVs, baking maps, and authoring PBR textures and materials within the established pipeline
