The Stainless Games Legacy
For over three decades, Stainless Games has remained a proudly independent studio, crafting sector‑leading titles that have captivated millions. We aren’t just a studio; we are a community of creators. As a 3D Generalist here, you join a team that values independence, technical innovation, and a genuine passion for the medium. Our work environment is fun, progressive, and focused on pushing the boundaries of what is possible in interactive entertainment.
The beauty of being a 3D Generalist at Stainless Games lies in the variety. You won’t be repeating the same task every day; instead, you will be a “Swiss Army Knife” of visual excellence, adapting to the needs of the project as it evolves.
* World Building & Asset Creation: You will leverage your broad skill set to create high‑quality in‑game environments and props. Whether the project requires a gritty urban landscape or a vibrant, stylized fantasy world, your work will define the player’s surroundings.
* Hybrid Support: While your primary focus is 3D, your versatility will allow you to support 2D asset creation and interface design when required, ensuring a cohesive visual language across the entire game.
* Defining Look-and-Feel: You will work closely with the Lead Artist to help add definition to the aesthetic styles of our projects. Your input as a 3D Generalist is vital in determining how lighting, textures, and geometry interact to create a “look” that stands out in the market.
* Small-Team Agility: We operate in small, multi‑disciplinary teams. This means you will have a significant amount of ownership over your work and the opportunity to collaborate directly with coders, designers, and directors.
Essential Requirements for 3D Generalist
To thrive as a Generalist in our studio, you must meet the following professional benchmarks:
* Professional Experience: A minimum of 3+ years of professional experience in 3D game asset creation is required. You should be comfortable working within the constraints of real‑time rendering and modern game engines.
* Technical Mastery: You must demonstrate strong skills in standard industry 3D packages, specifically Blender and 3ds Max.
* Texturing & Finishing: Proficiency in Substance Painter is essential for creating realistic or stylized PBR materials. High‑level Photoshop skills are also required for texture work and 2D support.
* Engine Integration: A working knowledge of Unity and Unreal Engine is vital, as you will be responsible for ensuring your assets are correctly implemented and look great in‑engine.
* Compositional Eye: Beyond technical skills, we are looking for a 3D Generalist with a “good eye”—someone who understands composition, color theory, and visual storytelling.
* Legal Status: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Desirable Qualifications
We are particularly interested in a 3D Generalist who brings “extra” to the table:
* Animation Support: The ability to provide basic animation support for in‑game assets is a major plus.
* Multi‑Platform Portfolio: Experience creating assets optimized for everything from high‑end VR and PC to performance‑limited mobile platforms.
* Thematic Interests: A personal interest in vehicles (concept or real) and a knowledge of board games or CCGs will help you settle into our specific project cultures.
We recognize that a top‑tier 3D Generalist deserves a package that supports their lifestyle and long‑term career growth.
* Work-Life Balance: We offer flexible working hours around core sessions and a significant holiday allowance, including a unique 2‑week shutdown over the festive period.
* Comprehensive Health: Private medical cover and access to Mental Health First Aiders ensure your well‑being is prioritized.
* Financial Incentives: A competitive salary is bolstered by pension contributions and a discretionary annual bonus.
* Relocation Assistance: For those moving to the island, we provide support to ensure your transition is stress‑free.
* Local Perks: Enjoy discounted ferry travel for your trips to the mainland.
