Are you a technical artist who thrives on building powerful procedural systems and pushing the boundaries of AI-driven content creation?
Join Camplight, where your expertise will help shape cutting-edge game worlds through scalable procedural workflows, advanced simulations, and next-generation AI-assisted tools.
What you’ll be working on?
We are collaborating with one of our partners to build visually stunning and technically advanced game experiences powered by procedural generation and intelligent content pipelines.
In this project, you will craft complex procedural systems for environments, FX, and simulations using Houdini. These systems will drive efficient content creation while maintaining high artistic quality and consistency across large-scale worlds.
You’ll also play a key role in integrating AI/ML tools into Houdini workflows—exploring generative approaches for textures, meshes, and simulation behaviors, and helping redefine how content is created in modern game development.
Your Role
You will act as the bridge between art, engineering, and emerging AI technologies.
Your role will involve designing and developing Houdini-based systems, building reusable digital assets, and ensuring seamless integration into Unreal Engine and broader DCC pipelines. You’ll collaborate closely with ML engineers, technical artists, and animators to translate creative goals into scalable technical solutions.
Additionally, you will optimize simulations for performance, define quality standards for procedural assets, and mentor team members in procedural workflows and best practices.
