3D Character Modeler

Type : Freelance / Remote

Duration : Project-based

Start : Immediate

Create photoreal human characters for real-time use in Unreal Engine, owning the full pipeline from sculpting and modeling through retopology, UVs, and PBR texturing, and setting assets up in engine. Rigging is a plus; MetaHumans experience is a strong bonus.

Responsibilities

• Build photoreal human characters (head-to-toe) with deformation-friendly topology, especially face / eyes / mouth / hands.
• Create PBR textures / shaders (skin, eyes, teeth, hair / fuzz, wardrobe) and set up material instances in UE (SSS, micro-detail, eye shading).
• Import and validate in Unreal (skeletal mesh, scale / orientation, sockets, LODs / Nanite strategy, collisions as needed).
• Prepare turntables and Sequencer previews; collaborate on notes and iterate efficiently.
• Optimize for real-time cinematics (shader complexity, texture budgets, streaming / VT).
