  • Proficiency in 3ds Max or Maya, Unreal Engine, and Metahuman
  • Proven ability to create characters across a range of styles—from realistic to stylized
  • Strong skills in UV layout, hand-painted texturing, and material creation
  • Experience crafting consistent blend shapes while adhering to project style
  • Ability to quickly prototype block-out models for early development
  • Clear communication with concept artists, art directors, designers, and production teams

Nice to Have
