  • Help drive quality standards and contribute to visual problem-solving across the art pipeline.
What we're looking for

  • Strong proficiency with industry-standard 3D software, including tools such as Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, Plasticity, and ZBrush.
  • Excellent understanding of texturing workflows, PBR materials, and realistic surface creation.
  • Ability to take assets from concept through final implementation with strong attention to detail and craftsmanship.
  • Experience creating functional and articulated mechanical models suitable for animation pipelines.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across multiple disciplines.
  • Passion for creating world-class visual content and pushing quality to the next level.
