Job Description
As a Visual Effects Artist at Ubi Montreal, you will create striking visual moments that positively impact gameplay and enhance the player experience. Smoke, fire, explosions, snowfall, or waterfalls – each of your effects will deepen immersion and prompt the question: “How did you do that?”
A creative innovator, you’ll merge technology and artistry to make magic happen. You’ll adapt to a variety of tools, relying on your expertise to produce and integrate high-quality, impactful, real-time visual effects.
What you’ll do
- Collaborate with the leadership team to understand the overall creative vision and set priorities for visual effects.
- Create environmental and cinematic effects using particle systems and textures you produce.
- Work closely with programmers to assess needs and develop tools.
- Respect technical constraints to craft aesthetic and functional effects.
- Integrate your VFX into the game engine.
- Refine effects based on playtest results and feedback from cross-functional teams (debug and optimize).
- Adapt to post-launch community feedback (in some cases) while balancing expectations and limitations.
What you bring to the team
- College diploma in Visual Effects, 3D Animation, or a related field
- Experience as a VFX Artist in the video game industry, ideally on a AAA project
- Proficiency with 3D creation tools (e.g. Maya, 3ds Max) and game engines (e.g. Unreal, Unity)
- Strong knowledge of 2D tools for texture and flipbook creation/retouching (e.g. Photoshop)
- Solid grasp of vector mathematics and art fundamentals (lighting, composition, colour, visual rhythm, etc.)
- Ability to receive, interpret, and integrate feedback constructively
- Creative, curious, and collaborative mindset
What to send our way
- Your CV highlighting your background and skills
- A demo reel showing your best work, with a breakdown of your process – seriously, we want to see how you do it! Attach files or include a link to your personal website or online portfolio.
