Portfolio Tips

Character Artists

Show clean topology, efficient UVs, and PBR material setups. Climax works on third-person action games — show hero props, weapons, and character assets ready for animation.

Environment Artists

Modular kit experience is essential. Show how you build reusable sets efficiently. Include screenshots from engine, not just renders.

Technical Artists

Unreal Engine Blueprint knowledge and performance optimization experience matters. Show rigging, shaders, or pipeline work that solved a real production constraint.

Generalist / 3D Modeller

Climax values speed and flexibility. A varied portfolio showing props, environments, and characters will outperform a highly specialized one for generalist roles.
