Unity Developer Needed to Create a Relaxing Nature Scene

Job ID: 39749996

Budget: $30 – $250 CAD

Project Overview:
We are developing an MVP for a game application. One of the core experiences is a calming nature scene designed to help users relax and focus. The scene should be optimized for VR (Meta Quest, PCVR compatible) and deliver a visually pleasing and immersive experience.

What We Need:
We are looking for a skilled Unity developer / 3D environment artist to design and implement one complete VR-ready nature scene.

Scene Description:

- The scene should place the user at the peak of a mountain with a panoramic view of the ocean.
- The mountain slopes and ocean coastline should be surrounded by forests with a mix of trees.
- A small waterfall should flow naturally into a river or stream leading toward the ocean.
- A sandy beach should be visible along the shoreline.
- The scene should include gentle ambient sounds (ocean waves, waterfall, birds, wind through trees) to enhance immersion.
- The environment should feel calm, natural, and realistic, suitable for mindfulness use.

Technical Requirements:
- Unity Engine (latest LTS version preferred).
- Must run smoothly on Meta Quest 2/3 and PCVR (optimized draw calls, baked lighting where possible).
- Use XR Interaction Toolkit / OpenXR for VR compatibility.
- Lightweight assets (TreeBillboards/SpeedTrees, terrain textures, detail meshes kept sparse to balance performance).
- Proper terrain painting (mountain plateau for player spawn, forested slopes, beach area).
- Player spawn point set with XR Origin (stationary experience—user looks around but does not move).
- Deliverable should be a Unity project folder with organized assets and scene ready to integrate into our app.

Deliverables:
- Unity project with one polished scene (as described above).
- Terrain, textures, vegetation, water, and lighting fully set up.
- Ambient audio integrated (with ability to toggle on/off).
- Optimized for standalone VR performance (60+ FPS on Quest).
- Clear documentation on how to integrate into our existing project.

What We Provide:
- General visual references (mood boards, sample nature scenes).
- Guidance on tone/atmosphere (relaxing use).
- Technical specs for integration.

Ideal Candidate:
- Proven experience creating Unity 3D environments for VR.
- Strong understanding of performance optimization for VR headsets.
- Ability to deliver high-quality, realistic nature scenes.
- Portfolio of previous Unity/VR environment work is required.

Next Steps:
- Please share your portfolio (Unity scenes, VR projects, or nature/3D environments).
- Provide an estimated timeline and budget for creating this scene.
- Let us know your experience with Meta Quest optimization.
