Ghostly Studios is looking for 3d character artists/3d animators/game designer/concept artists

Starting Date: Immediate, duration - Direct Hire

Job details: Ghostly Studios is an independent game development studio based out of Myrtle Beach, SC. After finishing projects with our partner companies we are starting work on an exciting new sci-fi virtual world. We have teamed up with some of the world’s leaders in MMO technology development and are working hard on the development of our future title. We are looking for independent thinkers who are easy going and able to work with the other team members in a positive way. We have a great flow and amazing teamwork, and we are looking for members who add something to that formula.

Positions are as listed below:

Concept Artists
-----------------
We are seeking an individual to fill the role of Concept Artist for our Science Fiction MMORPG. The Concept Artist in question should have a grasp of the basic elements of static, environmental, technical, and organic art forms. Concept Artists will be responsible for providing final hand inked and/or Photoshop crafted concept art derived from existing initial sketches. The concept artist will help the art team lead with creating a unified art style throughout the process of development and providing illustrations of characters, areas, scenes, equipment, and technology behind Terra Firma Online. Candidates applying must be able to work on schedule and have an understanding of physical and digital artistic techniques.

Game Designer
---------------
Ghostly Studios is seeking a motivated, intelligent, and highly capable individual to fill an open role as Game Designer. The Game Designer plays a pivotal role on the team as the designer of many integral systems and subsystems. The right candidate should be a great communicator and be able to maintain constant contact with team leads. Design experience is a huge plus, but an intimate knowledge and capability in the area of game design is an absolute must. The chosen candidate will be responsible for designing new systems and creating supporting documentation, revising existing systems, and maintaining overall game design documentation and the implementation of design theories throughout the course of development.

3D Character Artist
--------------------
The character artist is the person on the entire team that understands the races, creatures, and omnipotent beings of Terra Firma the most! We are seeking a 3D Character Artist with experience in 3D Studio Max modeling. Candidate must obviously have a proven ability to create vibrant and detailed models for use within a game environment. Knowledge and experience in the application of normal map detail layers from tools such as Z-Brush is a major bonus! Previous experience with interchangeable mesh\'s with scalable levels of detail is a huge plus. Candidates must also possess an understanding of poly count restrictions, have knowledge of modeling techniques that can enhance client side performance, and most of all they must LOVE the Science Fiction genre. Secondary knowledge of texturing, animation, and rigging are also major bonuses.

3D Animator
-------------
We are seeking a brilliant 3D Animator to bring the worlds of Terra Firma Online to life! Candidates must possess a deep understanding of timing and motion in order to create organic animations and movements for the many creatures and races of TFO. Previous professional animation experience is a plus but not required. Candidates must have experience in 3D Studio Max or be able to learn the software quickly. Teamwork and collaboration skills are also a necessity. The 3D Animator will create animation trees that will bring the worlds of TFO to life while adding to the intensity and complexity of the visceral combat system. Organic Modeling and texturing skills are also a huge plus.

We hold weekly teleconferences which are usually at around lunchtime EST on Saturdays. You will be required to make most of these, but time tables are negotiable for telecon times. We are NOT a fly by night operation and have a strong developing relationship with other indie studios in which we draw important resources from when necessary. It is IMPORTANT TO NOTE that our team is working off of a structured profit share payment schedule, and we are looking for PARTNERS to help us build and grow our company. The members of this studio do not consider themselves volunteers, but we all understand that we put the risk out there as an industry upstart that there is NO immediate financial gain. We are completely sympathetic to the freelancers who are looking to sell their services, but we are all putting in sweat equity towards a product which we believe will be a true winner. \"Big Picture\" long term thinkers are a plus for this team.

For those that are interested, motivated, and energized for something fun and exciting and are really looking for a sure win to get your foot in the door of the industry then please send an email to hr@ghostlystudios.com with some samples of your work and a resume - I Promise you that what we are doing will not be disappointing.


Location: Myrtle Beach, SC - If you meet the previous requirements for an application then geographic location isn\'t terribly important. Many of our members DO NOT live in Myrtle Beach.
