3D Artist & AI Workflow Trainer (Game Dev Specialist)
Company: Xsolla Curine Academy
Location: KL Eco City, Kuala Lumpur
Employment Type: Full-time / Part-time contract available
About the Role
Xsolla Curine Academy is looking for a visionary 3D Artist Trainer who bridges the gap between traditional 3D artistry and next-generation game development pipelines.
In this role, you will not only teach foundational 3D modeling and animation but also spearhead the integration of an AI-augmented game development curriculum. You will equip students with the skills to leverage cutting-edge AI tools to accelerate asset creation, optimize texturing, and streamline modern studio workflows without sacrificing core artistic fundamentals.
Key Responsibilities & Curriculum Delivery
- Curriculum Innovation: Design, update, and deliver a modern 3D + AI curriculum that teaches students how to ethically and effectively use AI tools as high-speed development assistants.
- Instruction & Mentorship: Lead structured lessons covering the basics of 3D modeling up to advanced, AI-accelerated workflows for rapid game prototyping. Train students of varying skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners.
- Asset Optimization: Train students on real-time asset optimization for games, VR, and AR, utilizing both traditional methods and modern tech automation.
Technical Skills & Qualifications
1. Core 3D Software & Pipelines
- Deep proficiency in at least one major DCC tool (Autodesk Maya or Blender), alongside ZBrush and Substance Painter/Designer.
- Familiarity with rendering engines (e.g., Arnold, V-Ray) and game engines (Unreal Engine or Unity).
- Strong technical understanding of UV mapping, baking techniques, sculpting workflows, rigging, and animation.
2. AI & Next-Gen Game Dev Workflows
- AI-Assisted Production: Proficiency in using generative AI and machine learning tools tailored for game art pipelines (e.g., Stable Diffusion/Midjourney for concept generation/mood boarding, automated retopology helpers, and AI-driven texturing).
- Workflow Automation: Experience using AI features embedded in industry-standard software (such as Adobe Substance AI tools) to speed up material creation and asset upscaling.
- Ethical Integration: Ability to teach the ethical boundaries of AI toolsets, addressing copyright, data sources, and studio-safe deployment.
3. Artistic Foundations & Soft Skills
- Strong command of art fundamentals: Anatomy for character design, lighting/shading, color theory, composition, and visual storytelling.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and mentorship skills; patience and adaptability when inspiring next-gen developers.
- Basic knowledge of high-performance workstations, GPU/CPU rendering setups, and version control systems (e.g., Git, Perforce).
Preferred Qualifications
- A degree in 3D Art, Animation, Game Design, or a related field (exceptional studio experience is highly valued in lieu of a degree).
- Proven studio production experience where AI tools or automated pipelines were actively utilized in a game development cycle.
- Certifications from recognized institutions or software providers (e.g., Autodesk Certified Professional, Blender Foundation Certified Trainer).
How to Apply
Please submit your resume to *************, alongside a portfolio showcasing high-quality 3D models, textures, animations, and (if applicable) examples or breakdowns of your AI-integrated art workflows.
