[Rev Share] Fun and Friendly 3D Artist and Animator who Love(s) the Ocean job

-----Who We Are-----
Thalasse Games Studio was founded with one thing in mind: making games that matter. We set out to create experiences that people will remember. Immersive Poetry, our first commercial title, was a fresh start and the setting for a bright future.

-----Project Description-----
Without giving too much information away, the next project will take place entirely underwater. We are looking for people who have a genuine passion for ocean conservation and other issues the environment faces. We are aiming to create another “experience” for players that not only provides an amazing time and exhilarating gameplay but also raises awareness for issues facing our oceans today and in the future. The experience will be an engaging and thought-provoking single player story that will take you through the darkest depths of our oceans.

-----What We’re Looking For-----
Thalasse Games is looking for a talented 3D artist and a 3D animator to join our ranks! Upon releasing our previous title, we have decided to embark on a more adventurous endeavor and take our next project beyond its current scope.

-----3D Artist Requirements-----
- Must have something to show for yourself (portfolio, original models, etc.)

- Must have experience exporting models with textures and materials already applied
- Must have an understanding of LODs, modeling for game engines, and creating nice models with a decent polygon count
- Game Development Experience (In any form, hobby or professional) is a plus, but not required
