Description
The Intern Artist is an entry-level role within the 3D art team. It is intended for those with no experience who are taking their first steps into the games industry. Over the course of your internship, you’ll not only have the opportunity to learn from all that we have to offer, but we hope will make a meaningful impact on the production of some incredibly exciting VR titles. Therefore their role will be broad, covering a number of different aspects of games art to support the rest of the team.
Your Accountabilities
-
Asset Creation -
You will collaborate with the art team in the creation of art assets
for XR Games' projects. This involves contributing to the creation of 3D
assets, character designs, environments, textures, and potentially
animations.
-
Reference Collection
- You will actively engage in reference collection by gathering visual
materials, images, and resources that inspire and inform the artistic
direction of the game. Your efforts will aid in building a library of
references that artists can draw inspiration from during the creative
process.
-
Optimisation
- You will learn to optimise art assets to enhance performance and
memory efficiency while maintaining the intended visual quality. This
involves understanding techniques for reducing file sizes, optimising
polygon counts, and improving frame rates to ensure a smooth player
experience.
Are you the right person?
Our
internships are designed to be placements for those who are still
studying. This means that they are ideal for those who want to take a
year out in between years at university or those who have just completed
a college course.
While
we don’t expect you to have any professional experience we are
expecting you to have experience creating game-ready 3D assets either
through study or personal projects. You will be able to demonstrate a
good working knowledge of 3D modelling as well as industry standard
rolls such as 3DS Max & Maya. Experience working with game engines
will also be seen very favourably. Additionally you should be someone
who demonstrates a passion for video games and game development.
Our Values - Creative / Reliable / Problem Solver / Collaborative / Positive / Authentic

culture values are the DNA of what makes a good XR Games Employee.

Have you made it this far?
If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person.
Here’s
the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and
underrepresented folks might have already talked themselves out of
applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage
you to introduce yourself.
We
believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team
stronger — and the stronger our team, the closer we are to developing
the best VR games possible.
