MostWantedTalents is a Dubai-based AI-powered entertainment and video production studio specializing in cinematic content, gaming entertainment, and bringing iconic video game characters to life.

We're looking for a highly experienced 3D Character Artist to join our growing production team for long-term collaboration with a consistent workload and ongoing projects.

Responsibilities

• Create highly realistic, AAA-quality 3D characters for cinematic videos, gaming entertainment, and AI-powered productions.
• Sculpt detailed human faces, bodies, clothing, hair, and accessories with exceptional realism.
• Produce characters with photorealistic skin textures, realistic anatomy, and accurate facial likenesses.
• Develop production-ready 3D assets suitable for animation, cinematic rendering, and Unreal Engine workflows.
• Handle retopology, UV mapping, PBR texturing, materials, and optimization.
• Work with references to recreate characters with a high level of visual accuracy.
• Collaborate with our animation and production teams.

Required Skills & Software

Strong professional experience with relevant industry-standard tools, including:

• ZBrush – High-resolution sculpting and character detailing.
• Blender / Autodesk Maya / 3ds Max – Character modeling and production workflows.
• Substance 3D Painter / Designer – Photorealistic PBR texturing.
• Unreal Engine 5 – Real-time rendering and cinematic character integration.
• Marvelous Designer – Realistic clothing and fabric simulation.
• Marmoset Toolbag / Arnold / V-Ray – High-quality rendering and presentation.
• Photoshop – Texture refinement and asset preparation.
• Character Creator / MetaHuman – Character creation and facial workflows.

You don't need to know every application, but you must demonstrate an advanced professional workflow and outstanding final results.

Additional Skills – Big Plus

• Character rigging and skinning.
• Facial rigging, blendshapes, and facial animation.
• Character animation and motion capture workflows.

• Exceptional attention to facial likeness, anatomy, skin, hair, and clothing details.
• A strong portfolio featuring realistic human characters.
• Ability to deliver production-ready assets consistently.
• Strong communication skills and reliability.

Photorealism is our top priority. We're looking for characters that feel believable in high-end cinematic productions, not stylized or cartoon-like models.

• Competitive salary based on skills and experience.
• Fully remote work opportunities.
• Collaboration with an international creative production team.
• Exciting projects involving iconic gaming characters and cinematic entertainment.
