Free Radical Design are recruiting!

[*Cardigan*]

Sorry about the cut/paste job from map center, but:

Hi there folks,

I've not been around for a while, but hopefully a few of you might remember me from the halcyon days of Quake 3 (happy sigh of nostalgia). Since then I've been working at Free Radical Design, where I'm now lead artist on one of the teams.

We're currently looking for environment artists to work on one of two games destined for the next-gen consoles and PC. Industry experience is absolutely not required, we just want to see some fantastic environment art (or maps, in the old language ) with oodles of atmosphere and visual flair.

Our artists work on all aspects of an environment - modelling, texturing and lighting and so it's important to have skills in all these areas.

A good understanding of current graphics technology will also be an advantage - by this I mean things like generating and applying normal and specular maps. The more technical understanding you have the better.

It's helpful if you know how to use a professional 3d package (ideally Maya) rather than just a level editor, but again this is not a requirement. The main thing is that you love games and want to make the best art you possibly can.

If you're interested and can either commute or relocate to Nottingham, England, then please send a CV with a covering letter and examples of your work to:

Personnel Dept.
Free Radical Design Ltd.
Unit 1, Interchange 25
Bostocks Lane
Sandiacre
Nottingham
NG9 5QG

Alternatively, email the lot to jobs@frd.co.uk

If you're interested and can either commute... to Nottingham, England...

Hrm... I was feeling pretty interested, but how long does it take to commute to Nottingham from Toronto? Darn.

dunno, but we already have some of you fellow countrymen working here

[TruthfulLiar]

how many positions are open?

[*Cardigan*]

TruthfulLiar - we currently need one or two extra artists for my team, but the other team (who's game is at an earlier stage of development) will be needing quite a few as time goes on.

We always hire talented people regardless of whether we have an official 'opening' or not anyway

this sounds very interesting, but relocation is always a big thing tho

[*Cardigan*]

Nottingham's a nice place

woah is this the guy who made the 70s game with a blue gargoyle in it
