Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a 3D Artist to join our studio in Da Nang, creating characters, props, and environments for our Roblox titles, currently including a larger-scope production with an RPG lean.

You'll use a mix of traditional 3D modeling and AI-assisted generation tools to build out our asset library efficiently, then bring your models to life with rigging and animation. You'll work closely with Game Designers and our Technical Artist to make sure everything you build fits the game's style and holds up inside Roblox Studio. 


Key Responsibilities

  • Asset Creation: Model characters, props, weapons, and environment pieces for Roblox, using a combination of hand-modeling (Blender or Maya) and AI-assisted generation tools (e.g., Meshy, 3D AI Studio, Sloyd, or Roblox Studio's built-in Material and Texture Generator) to speed up production on background and secondary assets.

  • Optimization & Refinement: Retopologize, remesh, and clean up AI-generated models to hit Roblox's polycount and performance budgets. Hand-model or heavily refine hero assets : player characters, key weapons, anything the camera lingers on  where AI output isn't good enough on its own.

  • Animation: Set up simple animations for the props and environment pieces you create : looping idle states, interactive triggers, mechanical movement like doors, levers, or chests using Roblox's animation tools.

  • Texturing & Materials: Texture models to match our art direction, using traditional workflows or AI-assisted material and texture generation where it speeds things up without compromising visual consistency.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Game Designers to make sure assets support gameplay needs (silhouette readability, scale, animation compatibility). Hand off character and creature models to our Technical Artist for rigging and animation, with clean topology and reference notes to support that work. Coordinate with QA on asset-related issues (clipping, scale, broken rigs).

Preferred Experience

Requirements

  • 2+ years of professional experience as a 3D Artist or similar role, ideally on Roblox or another real-time game engine.

  • Strong fundamentals in 3D modeling, topology, and UV unwrapping, in Blender or Maya.

  • Hands-on experience with at least one AI-assisted 3D generation tool (e.g., Meshy, 3D AI Studio, Sloyd) and comfort cleaning up and optimizing their output for a real-time engine.

  • Comfortable setting up simple prop and environment animations in Roblox Studio

  • Understanding of Roblox's technical constraints (polycount, texture size, mobile performance).

  • Fluent in English (written & spoken); Vietnamese is a plus given daily collaboration with our Da Nang-based team.

  • A strong portfolio showing 3D modeling work, ideally with examples of AI-assisted pieces alongside hand-crafted ones, so we can see both sides of your process.

Benefits and perks

  • Competitive salary with 100% salary during probation

  • Healthcare insurance & annual health check

  • Annual Performance review

  • Flexible working hours (40h/week, Mon–Fri)

  • Creative workspace with PS5, free coffee pantry....

  • High-quality work devices provided (PC, monitor, laptop…)

  • Fun bonding activities: trips, team building, parties, clubs…

  • Regular training & workshops on both hard and soft skills

  • Learn directly from experienced managers & mentors

  • An international, creative, and friendly environment where your ideas are valued
