What Larian Looks for in Your Portfolio

✨ VFX Artists

Baldur’s Gate 3 VFX is stylized magic and combat – elemental spells, fire, explosions, environmental atmosphere. Show real-time particle and shader work in UE5 or Unity. Houdini simulation baking is relevant. At least one fantasy/RPG spell effect piece will stand out.

🦴 Animators

Larian characters are expressive and personality-driven – the BG3 performance quality is extremely high. Show character acting, weight, and subtle facial performance. Motion capture cleanup experience is a plus. Internship applicants should show strong pose work and a clear feel for timing.

🌍 Environment Artists

Larian environments are dense, readable, and rich with storytelling detail. Show modular kit construction, rich material variation, and large-scale scene composition. UE5 Nanite and Lumen experience is increasingly relevant. The Underdark and Act 2 of BG3 are reference points for the visual bar.

🎨 Concept Artists

Larian concept art spans high-fantasy characters, architectural environments, and creature design. Show versatility – characters, environments, and props. Their art style is grounded with rich cultural and period influences. Production-ready concept sheets with clear orthographic views are valued.
