Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. As the most played video game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience.

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As a Senior 3D Character Artist III at Riot Games, you will contribute to the creation of 3D characters for projects, crafting visual experiences and assets that surprise and delight players.

You will work closely with Creative Director, Art Lead, TA Lead, Delivery Managers, Designers, Engineers, cross-discipline artists, and to ensure alignment on vision and priorities. As part of the 3D craft discipline, you will support the production of 3D characters and the final material adjustments to enhance the atmosphere and depth of the game. You will also create functional objects to meet the project's needs. With your artistic and technical expertise, you will create stunning visual effects that convey essential game information. Your skills in asset transformation and system setup will enable you to reimagine existing elements and develop fresh visual experiences that resonate with players.

As a Rioter in China, you'll join a team of internationally and culturally diverse professionals that share our prioritization of player experience, rejection of convention and maniacal passion for gaming. 

To reinforce Riot’s collaborative culture in our China offices, we’ve decided to do away with the constraints of traditional hierarchical title structures that are more common in the region. Titles don’t really matter at any of Riot’s offices, but we chose to take this extra step in our China offices to foster a space where teamwork thrives. We believe that removing this constraint will promote individual autonomy, ownership, collaboration, and a focus on results. We promise you won’t need a title at Riot to make an impact.

• Understand and elevate concept designs while considering technical and design constraints, such as polygon counts, texture memory limits, and topology structure
• Solve complex production challenges, collaborate effectively across disciplines, and ensure all assets meet the project's vision and creative direction. Actively participate in optimization and iteration processes
• Easily understand and clearly articulate the product’s distinctive visual style, while supporting and maintaining it
• Consistently reflect and uphold company values in your work and interactions
• Maintain high standards for work quality and output, while supporting team leadership in operational efforts

• Experience in early-stage production and development.
• Shipped at least one game project.

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players.
