[UNPAID/VOLUNTEER] Looking for Environment Artists for UE5 animated series

Hi! :waving_hand::black_heart:

My name is Swapilla, I am an indie director, writer and animator. I’m currently making a massive long-term and unpaid passion project. A 10 episode animated horror series made entirely in Unreal Engine 5.

The series revolves around a group of individuals trapped in a mountaintop ski resort and it is inspired by a lot of your favorite games and shows such as Until Dawn, The Last of Us, Resident Evil, Yellowjackets, Stranger Things, Silent Hill, etc.

I am hoping to create a cinematic experience for YouTube in UE5 and I can’t do that without someone capable of creating cinematic and immersive sets. So, I am looking to partner with an Environment Artist with great skills at designing sets to help me out.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and build detailed 3D environments and sets in Unreal Engine 5.
  • Create cinematic, story-driven locations that support mood, tone, and narrative
  • Dress scenes with props, lighting, and environmental storytelling

What I Need:

  • Experience working in Unreal Engine 5
  • Skills in terrain, architecture and interior design
  • Ability to work with snow.
  • Good sense of atmosphere, lighting, composition, and cinematic framing
  • Usage of nanite and high quality props

What You’ll Receive:

  • Before you start working on a set, I will first discuss everything with you. After that, I will send you the script, the location layouts, character blockings and visual references for each set (About 8 sets for the first episode)
  • Because I’m operating as a solo indie creator in a region with limited international payment access, I can’t offer a traditional salary. But what I can offer in exchange for your collaboration is that you are completely free to use clips from the finished product for your portfolio or visual reels.
  • You’ll be provided with high resolution, cinematic renders and video sequences of your environments used in a finished production
  • You’ll be featured prominently in the credits and all promotional social media
  • You’ll have a massive say in the visual identity of the series.
