Hello,
Griever Games is searching for a VFX artist to create a range of interesting magic effects to implement into our combat and magic system, along with additional VFX to compliment our interactions and gameplay.
What are we looking for:
-
Capable of working within Unreal Engine 4 using the Niagara system. In your application, let us know if you’re familiar with creating parameters that can be used in the vfx.
-
A good understanding of the VFX workflow to bring a wide variety of assets to life
-
The ability to optimize VFX for use in UE4
-
Capable of and willing to receive feedback and work iteratively on assets.
We would discuss each of these in depth before you begin work. Ideally, we’d get some concept sketches together, as well. Some will need parameters in Niagara to work properly, please indicate in your email that you’re familiar with them. Here is a starter list of VFX we would require:
-
Spawning the sword - the sword will form from mist in the shape of the weapon. It may glow a bit. We will send you the blade that will form so you can have the shapes
-
AOE silence - can discuss the look of this one but we’re thinking about having a bunch of small blue orbs sink into the ground
-
Phantom Spear/Arrow - Something like this but NOT ice looking: Final Fantasy VIII - Edea's Parade - YouTube It should look like a spear or an arrow . We can provide a mesh for it
-
Stone Skin - We need this to be on the character. Thinking of translucent golden / brown armor.
-
Life Steal - We’d like the sword to have a red glow that looks like a very slow flame
-
Ghost Strikes - This will basically look like the sword but way longer. Purplish, solid not flame like, and translucent
-
Orb of health - A red orb that will float above the characters head. It will slowly fill then turn green
-
Orb of Spikes - This one we just need a trail coming off of the spike. It will be an earth spike so small crystals around it would be nice too
-
Meteor - many examples of this one
-
Ice - Something like diablo 2 frozen orb
-
We have a decal for aiming the spells but i’d like to have a vfx that matches the decal for meteor, ice, and holy. Something like flames, smoke, and energy coming from the ground
We would need many more and have about a year to get these completed.
Pay: We’re offering $20-30 an hour or a per asset payment.
