  • Comfortable working in Maya and Adobe Suite.
  • Be unyielding on naming conventions and understand the importance of them
  • Have experience working with instanced art asset pipelines
  • Learn and work predominantly in our proprietary assembly tool
  • Know how to offer and take constructive criticism. Ability to take direction well.
  • A strong work ethic is important – managing your own time, you pride yourself in having capacity to work autonomously.
