Shanghai – onsite – full-time, permanent

VFX Artist, Project R.I.S.E


We are looking for a passionate and experienced VFX Artist to join our Shanghai Studio.

Your focus will be on developing VFX for one of our new projects. You should be able to independently plan, execute and make your assets work, but the ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience establishing art styles for VFX and executing iterations in-engine.

At Supercell, we believe that small teams that find a way to work well together have the potential to create memorable games. It’s important that each team member takes pride in their work and knows what it means to take responsibility and deliver quality and fun to players.

As a VFX artist at Supercell, you will work closely with game designers, game programmers, and game artists, and create content that improves gameplay feel and features. You will also make important decisions about the overall look of the game and create VFX that enhance visual feedback and player experience.

If you think that describes you, then we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the development of the visual style and overall look of VFX
  • Create, design and implement effects using both static and animated elements from concept through to final optimization.
  • Collaborate with other disciplines to produce a cohesive game experience

Requirements

  • Extensive experience creating shaders and textures for VFX
  • Ability to create all assets needed for environmental and gameplay VFX
  • Hands-on experience with Unreal Engine & Niagara
  • Able to stay within budget and understand platform limitations
  • Passionate about (mobile) games
  • Proactive doer who takes responsibility and pride in their own work when given the freedom to work independently
  • Strong cross-discipline communication skills
  • Being a great teammate - we believe making games is a team sport

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Blueprints
  • Experience with VFX for UI
