  Word! There are a few of us floating around here, I'm up north at ZeniMax Online, so I guess I'll see ya at the holiday party.
  
  Grats on the gig! Bethesda seems like a really nice place to work judging by the limited contact I've had with the folks down there and what I hear from the former Bethsoft folks here.

  I couldn't agree with you more! I grew up in Delaware, so we had the amazing crabs from Maryland, and the perfect Cheesesteak from Philly (by proxy). I've pretty much been ruined for any other seafood or cheesesteak for life.
  
  
  Thanks again everyone!

  Congrats.
  
  I've never heard the term "World Artist" before...I take it you work on models that are more orientated towards larger environments?

  Typically world artists are the guys that sculpt/paint terrain and place objects. On big open world games like Bethesda does, that's a full time job!
  
  highfive!

  sculpt/paint terrain and place objects.

  
  Really? Hell I'd gladly do that. I love painting terrain and placing pre-made props in XD

  I think World Artist or Level Builder positions are a relatively new-ish title in the industry. It definitely varies from studio to studio, but the role is much more than terrain and placement. It's becoming more common, and depending on the game itself, definitely needed.
  
  Your roles can vary, like I said, but typically:
  Quick Gameplay Prototyping
  Fast iteration is key
  Terrain Sculpting/Painting
  Composition
  Building compelling visual narratives
  Lighting
  Minor Scripting
  Modeling/Texturing where needed (typically natural environmentals/terrain features such as rocks and foliage)
  Wrangling Budget/Memory constraints. This one can prove to be very taxing, as everyone's 'stuff' gets put into your space.
  
  Throughout your space, you typically work closely with Level Design, Tech Art, AI, and Prop/Architecture/Environment Artist departments.
  
  ...thanks again everyone!
