What does a game prop artist do?

A Game Prop Artist is responsible for creating 3D models of objects—such as furniture, weapons, vehicles, and environmental details—that populate video game worlds. These artists use specialized software to design, model, texture, and sometimes animate these props, ensuring they fit the visual style and technical requirements of the game. Their work helps bring game environments to life and enhances the player's immersive experience. Game Prop Artists often collaborate closely with environment artists, concept artists, and game designers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a game prop artist?

To thrive as a Game Prop Artist, you need strong 3D modeling, texturing, and digital sculpting skills, often supported by a degree in art, design, or a related field. Proficiency with industry-standard tools like Autodesk Maya, Blender, ZBrush, and Substance Painter is typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, and effective collaboration are essential soft skills that help artists bring environments to life and work efficiently with other team members. These combined skills and qualities ensure high-quality, immersive game assets that enhance the overall player experience and meet project deadlines.

How does a game prop artist typically collaborate with other team members during the game development process?

Game Prop Artists work closely with environment artists, level designers, and animators to ensure that props fit seamlessly within the game world. They regularly communicate with concept artists to align on visual direction and with technical artists to guarantee that assets are optimized for performance. Collaboration often involves participating in regular team meetings, providing feedback, and iterating on assets based on gameplay needs and artistic vision. This teamwork ensures that all props not only look appealing but also support the overall gameplay experience.

This work will feature all marketing applications, including original campaigns and full-funnel advertising across print, digital, and social.

THE DAY-TO-DAY:
  • GenAI Content Creation Across MGM Offerings: Create generative AI-based content across the wide spectrum of MGM resort and product offerings—including imagery for lifestyle, architecture, food and beverage, entertainment, retail, and gaming—for use in original campaigns and full-funnel advertising across print, digital, social, and audio channel

  • Advanced Technical Execution & Content Engineering: Apply deep understanding of AI and GenAI fundamentals to bring output to production quality, managing model selection, prompt engineering, and control techniques such as image/video conditioning, references, masks, LoRAs, fine-tunes, and iterative post-processing
  • Brand Strategy Translation to AI Content: Translate brand strategy and creative briefs into AI-generated content concepts that perform across audience segments, marketing funnels, and channels, balancing the speed and scale advantages of GenAI with the craft fundamentals that distinguish premium consumer brand work
  • Prompt Library & Asset Template Management: Build and maintain prompt libraries, asset templates, model references, and reusable content components that improve consistency, efficiency, and quality of GenAI content production across MGM
  • Format-agnostic Campaign Concepting Support: Assist with custom concepting work relating to format-agnostic campaigns and new content platforms, supporting the broader Creative Strategy team's exploration of creative ideas that span design, content, experiential, and integrated channels
  • Emerging GenAI Tool Evaluation: Maintain ongoing awareness of emerging GenAI tools, models, formats, and best practices, evaluating new platforms and integrating capabilities into MGM's content workflow with appropriate brand, quality, and rights controls
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:

  • Has a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, Photography, Film, Fine Arts, Visual Communications, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

  • Has 5+ years of art direction experience in photo and video production for consumer brands.
THE PERKS & BENEFITS:
  • Comprehensive wellness programs designed to support employees’ physical, mental, and emotional well‑being.
  • Exclusive access to company-sponsored discounts across hospitality, dining, retail, entertainment, travel, technology, and a wide range of partner offerings.
