About Us

Orbital Ignition Interactive is an indie mobile game studio dedicated to crafting visually captivating and immersive experiences. Our first title, Taliara’s Rise, is a mobile tabletop strategy game featuring stylized environments, engaging mechanics, and a unique world where two factions—the Leafborn and the Stoneclad—compete for dominance.

We are looking for a passionate 3D Artist to bring our world to life. This role is unpaid until funded, but it’s a fantastic opportunity to be part of an ambitious indie game from the ground up, gain experience, and contribute creatively to a growing project.

The Role

As a 3D Artist, you’ll be responsible for creating stylized assets, from environments to props and characters, that match the vibrant and distinctive world of Taliara’s Rise.

Success in this role looks like:

• Delivering high-quality stylized 3D models that align with the game’s artistic direction.
• Collaborating with designers and developers to ensure seamless integration into Unity.
• Optimizing assets for mobile performance while maintaining strong visual appeal.
• Creating textures and materials that enhance the game’s aesthetic.

This role is vital to our game’s visual identity, and as we move toward funding, we aim to transition this position into a paid opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Model and texture stylized 3D assets (environments, props, and characters).
• Ensure assets are optimized for mobile platforms while maintaining quality.
• Work closely with designers and developers to integrate assets into Unity.
• Create UV maps and efficient low-poly models suitable for real-time rendering.
• Contribute to the game’s art direction and collaborate on creative decisions.

Qualifications

Required:

✅ Experience with Blender (or Maya, 3ds Max, or ZBrush).

✅ Strong portfolio showcasing stylized 3D art.

✅ Passion for game art and an eye for detail.

✅ Ability to work independently while collaborating with a remote team.

✅ Understanding of game-ready asset optimization (poly count, LODs, UV mapping).

Nice to Have:

🎮 Experience working on mobile games or personal projects.

🎨 Familiarity with hand-painted textures or PBR workflows.

🛠 Knowledge of Unity asset integration and shaders.

🔥 Experience creating VFX or animations is a plus!

Why Join Us?

🌟 Be part of a unique indie game from the ground up.

🎨 Contribute creatively and shape the game’s visual identity.

📚 Gain valuable experience working in an early-stage studio.

🚀 Potential for a future paid role once funding is secured.
