🏢 Company: Velan Studios Inc
🇺🇸 Location: United States
🌎 Work Model: On-Site
Company
We are Velan Studios, an independent game developer with a passion for the unconventional, and we are looking for Tech Artists to intern with us.
Requirements
Our curiosity drives us and we have one requirement for our applicants: You must be deeply curious about something, and have some evidence of that curiosity.
Desired Skills/Experience
We are looking for interns that demonstrate a pattern of persistent and self-motivated exploration, specifically in one or more of these specific sub-sets of the Tech Art sphere:
Sub-Sets of Tech Art Sphere
Shaders
Cinematics (pipeline, workflow)
Lighting and rendering tech (lens flares, light baking, etc.)
Environmental Tech Art
VFX adjacent things (smoke/fluid simulation, animated shaders, etc.)
Internship Role
As an intern you can expect to use your aesthetic and technical skills to work on real code and assets for real products as part of Velan’s Tech Art team.
Duration and Location
Internships and co-op experiences typically range from 3 to 6 months in length, 40 hours a week. (This is not a hard and fast rule, and we are happy to consider exceptions.) All internship are onsite at our studio in Troy, NY. All internships are paid ($25/hour).
Development Process
We use a collaborative, cross-discipline, and iterative development process. We work on constrained hardware (CPU, GPU, memory) and with hard performance targets (60Hz refresh rate). Beyond that, the problem domain is very broad.
