DRAMA STUDIOS is an independent game studio based in Rennes, France. We focus on creating immersive, gameplay driven experiences through close collaboration between design, art and technology.

DRAMA STUDIOS is currently developing UNRECORD, a narrative open world tactical FPS built with Unreal Engine 5. UNRECORD aims to deliver a highly immersive experience through realism, systemic gameplay and a strong narrative approach. The project sits at an AA ambition level, combining creative freedom with solid production pipelines and technical rigor. Our goal is to craft believable worlds, meaningful player interactions and gameplay systems that feel grounded, intense and coherent.

You create high quality 3D characters for UNRECORD : full characters, clothing and accessory pieces, built with a classic AAA production pipeline and digital tailoring tools. Your work contributes to the visual fidelity and believable detail of our world. The role calls for a strong artistic culture, solid anatomy skills and a good understanding of fabrics, so that character designs read as grounded and visually striking in the game. Regular on site presence is expected. Partial remote work is possible.

$Responsibilities

• Create high fidelity 3D character models, textures and material setups in line with the realistic visual style of the project
  
• Sculpt high poly models, then produce clean retopology suitable for deformation, efficient UV layouts and baked maps (normal, AO, curvature, etc.)
  
• Author photorealistic PBR textures and material instances for real time use
  
• Work with Technical Art, Animation and Design so that assets meet runtime performance budgets and technical constraints
  
• Keep file structures clean and integrate character assets into the engine pipeline
  
• Take part in asset reviews and iterate on feedback from art direction and playtests
  
• Build characters from existing concepts, and contribute to character design upstream, in 2D or directly in 3D, when needed
  

$Requirements

• Experience in 3D character art or asset focused roles for real time applications
  
• A portfolio showing realistic character work
  
• Excellent command of industry standard tools (ZBrush, Maya, Blender, Substance 3D Painter, Marvelous Designer, etc.)
  
• Strong understanding of human anatomy, proportions, silhouette and cloth behavior
  
• Solid grasp of the classic AAA character pipeline (high to low poly workflows, UVs, PBR texturing)
  
• Broad artistic culture (games, film, visual arts, photography)
  
• Creative mindset and careful attention to detail
  
• Comfortable working hands on in production
  
• Fluent or professional working proficiency in English and French, written and spoken
  
• Knowledge of real world garments, textiles and clothing materials is a plus
  
• Experience creating hyperrealistic, non fantasy characters is a plus
  
• Experience with Unreal Engine 5 workflows is a plus
  
• A basic understanding of rigging, skinning and technical setup is a plus
