Mindworld: Looking for 3D artists (UDK)
Hey guys,
My name is Kjell Bunjes and I'm the Team Leader & Art Director of the upcoming Action Adventure Mindworld (click to get to our game's page). We are in development since January, have worked many things out and are now looking for additional talent in our 3D apartment to increase the speed of production. The team consists of a variety of people who are either working professionally in the industry or are ambitious to do so.
(Character concepts are given in the personal interview)
I usually use an embedded code to have the audio players right here, but seems like it's not allowed in this forum. So, I'll just add the links to two of our composers tracks.

We are looking for hard surface modellers and organic modellers. The following requirements give you an idea, whether you might be qualified. Keep in mind that it's always worth trying though, we might even be able to have a job for you, if you don't meet the exact requirements. We have contacts to other teams that might need your skillset.
Requirements:
Here are some words by our leading 3D artist Jeannot:
As a modeler for the Mindworld project, we expect that you:
- have extensive knowledge/experience of working with 3ds Max
- know how to create efficient low poly meshes for use in videogames
- know how to efficiently unwrap the UV's of a low poly mesh
- have a firm understanding of low poly/high poly normal map and ambient occlusion baking
- know how to import and setup game assets (models, materials) for use in the Unreal Engine 3 (UDK)
- know how to optimize models and lightmaps to achieve maximum quality in UDK.
- know how to create high quality textures for your models (diffuse, specular etc.)
- have at least several screenshots of your work, finished and/or work in progress.
Though not a requirement (with the exception of character modelers), experience with sculpting software such as ZBrush and Mudbox is preferred.
You will be working alongside several other modelers, focussing on the creation of game assets for Mindworld levels. We have a (frequently updated) list of game assets that shows what assets are required for Mindworld, each modeler is free to choose what asset he wants to create. Team members review eachothers work and help eachother whenever it is needed. Before full access to Mindworld is given you must first prove you are motivated by completing a set of assignments, these assignments are not wasted as they are actual game assets that will be used in Mindworld.
We are primarely looking for active people interested in game development who want to stay with us for the long-term to help us speed up development. If you are an experienced modeler interested in Mindworld but don't have the time to work with us on a daily basis, you can still join us and make some game assets from time to time. All help is appreciated.
