Intern Opportunity

Lodge2A is excited to announce an intern opportunity with our Games & Technology team. This internship is designed to provide practical experience and valuable skills to students and recent graduates.

Opportunity Details

Internship Title: 3D Asset Design/Creation for Game Engines (Unreal Engine 5 & VBS4)
Company/Organization: Lodge2A
Location: Atlanta, GA / Hybrid or Remote Possible
Duration: 6-12 Weeks

Overview
This intensive summer internship provides a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in 3D asset creation for cutting-edge game engines. Interns will apply industry-standard techniques using Blender to create detailed 3D models, textures, and animations optimized for integration into Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) and Virtual Battlespace 4 (VBS4). This program is designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice, offering valuable insights into the workflow of game development and simulation environments.

 

Internship Objectives:

  • Receive professional development directly from cutting edge VBS4 industry professionals.
  • Leverage proficiency in Blender for 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, and animation.
  • Apply processes in asset optimization for real-time rendering in UE5 and VBS4.
  • Gain practical experience in integrating 3D assets into game engine environments.
  • Contribute to technical requirements and workflows specific to UE5 and VBS4.
  • Collaborate with experienced professionals and contribute to real-world projects.
  • Build a portfolio showcasing 3D asset creation skills for game development.

Qualifications
We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic individuals who meet the following qualifications:

  • Enrollment in a relevant undergraduate or graduate program (e.g., Graphic Design, Game Development, 3D Modeling, Computer Science).
  • Basic understanding of 3D modeling principles.
  • Familiarity with Blender or similar 3D software (e.g., Maya, 3ds Max).
  • Strong interest in game development and real-time rendering.
  • Ability to learn and adapt quickly to new software and workflows.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
  • Basic understanding of PBR (Physically Based Rendering) workflows.
  • A portfolio that demonstrates artistic and technical ability is highly recommended

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with Unreal Engine or other game engines.
  • Experience with texture creation software (e.g., Substance Painter, Photoshop).
  • Knowledge of game asset optimization techniques.
  • Understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git).

Responsibilities
Interns will be involved in multiple projects leading to commercially-releasable products. 

These projects will include:

  • Create 3D models of various assets (e.g., props, environments) to project specifications.
  • Develop high-quality textures using industry-standard software.
  • Rig and animate 3D models for in-game use.
  • Optimize assets for performance within UE5 and VBS4.
  • Import and integrate assets into UE5 and VBS4 projects.
  • Participate in daily stand-up meetings and project reviews.
  • Document workflows and asset creation processes.
  • Respond to and implement feedback from supervisors.
