  • An enthusiastic and collaborative nature, self-motivated, positive, and open to feedback.
  • Ability to address both creative and technical challenges.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard tools, including Maya, Substance Painter, ZBrush, and Marvelous Designer.
  • Solid understanding of character topology and the ability to create well-optimized and animation-friendly meshes.
  • Ability to work independently and manage time effectively, maintaining good timekeeping and self-organization.
  • Excellent communication skills, able to understand technical instructions and share knowledge with the team.
Desirable Skills:
  • Experience with Unreal Engine.
  • Knowledge of AAA hair authoring workflows.
  • Shader knowledge is also beneficial.
