This role involves creating high-quality 3D assets for an immersive surgical training and robotic simulation platform. The artist will develop optimized models from various references for integration into real-time simulation environments, supporting the entire 3D asset pipeline.
Responsibilities
Create high-quality 3D models of surgical instruments, medical devices, robotic console components, operating-room environments, and supporting assets
Develop both hard-surface and organic models based on photographs, technical references, CAD data, drawings, and clinical inputs
Create optimized 3D assets suitable for real-time rendering and interactive surgical simulation
Develop LOD-ready models where required and maintain appropriate polygon budgets for real-time performance
Ensure correct pivots, transforms, orientation, scale, and hierarchy for downstream integration
Optimize meshes while maintaining the required visual quality and geometric accuracy
Prepare assets for integration into Unity and other real-time simulation environments
Develop realistic 3D representations of surgical instruments, robotic systems, medical equipment, operating-room environments, and anatomical structures
Work with clinical and medical experts to understand surgical workflows, instrument usage, and anatomical requirements
Incorporate clinical and technical feedback into 3D asset development
Ensure appropriate visual and dimensional accuracy for surgical training and simulation applications
Convert and optimize CAD/reference data for use in real-time 3D environments
Perform basic CAD cleanup, mesh optimization, retopology, and geometry preparation
Prepare clean meshes for handover to sculpting, texturing, rigging, animation, and technical-art teams
Perform basic UV layout and ensure assets are appropriately structured for downstream texturing
Work closely with 3D Artists, Technical Artists, Unity Developers, Simulation Engineers, Clinical Experts, and XR teams
Participate in regular production and pipeline review meetings
Coordinate with downstream artists for sculpting, texturing, rigging, and animation requirements
Proactively communicate technical challenges, dependencies, quality issues, and production blockers
Contribute to improving the overall 3D production pipeline and asset development standards
Follow established asset naming, folder structure, modeling, and production standards
