Responsibilities

As part of the #QLOCdragons team you will focus on the following areas:

1. Project LOD System

• Create and manage LOD setups for assets approaching triangle limits or that cannot be further simplified.
• Prepare proxy meshes that match the original shape and destruction setup of each asset.
• Build correct UV layouts within 0–1 space without overlaps.
• Assign and manage projection materials such as M_LastLOD or M_ProjectLOD.
• Bake texture projections, verify results and fix errors.
• Support the environment team to balance visual quality and performance across all LODs.
• Document and maintain guidelines for projection setups, shader assignments and asset validation.

2. Enlighten and Lighting Setup

• Configure and test Enlighten lighting types: Dynamic, Proxy, Light Probe, and Static.
• Choose the correct lighting type based on asset size, complexity and destruction setup.
• Work on semi‑dynamic GI setups to reduce light leaks and achieve realistic indirect lighting.
• Build test scenes to debug light behavior and compare different setups.
• Adjust UVs, materials and colors to improve bake quality and prevent shading issues.
• Collaborate with environment teams to maintain visual quality and performance balance.
• Identify and fix problems such as light leaks, wrong UVs or flat shading.

3. Validation and Integration

• Validate assets from Maya to the engine, checking naming, hierarchy, materials and textures.
• Maintain the LOD and baking pipeline, ensuring all steps are consistent.
• Communicate with artists and tech teams to provide feedback and technical support.
• Define validation rules for triangle limits, LOD counts and texture resolutions.
• Help improve pipeline tools and workflows whenever possible.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of 3D modeling, UV mapping and real‑time shading.
• Experience with Maya and Unreal Engine or custom engines.
• Good knowledge of lighting, LOD systems and optimization methods.
• Ability to debug and solve visual or performance issues.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to translate technical requirements into actionable art direction.

Benefits

• Hybrid work: 1 day per week in the office.
