What We're Looking For

• Strong understanding of 3D workflows – from modeling and texturing to rigging, animation, and rendering.
• Hands-on experience with AI-driven tools for 3D (e.g., using machine learning for texture generation, mesh manipulation, or procedural creation).
• A passion for pushing creative boundaries at the intersection of AI and 3D design, always exploring new possibilities.
• Ability to prototype and experiment with emerging technologies, quickly learning new AI tools and integrating them into projects.

Hard Requirements

• Proficiency in 3D software such as Blender, Maya, Houdini (or similar) for modeling, animation, and rendering.
• Proficiency in real-time rendering engines like Unreal Engine, especially for creating interactive 3D content.
• Experience with AI-powered tools and platforms (e.g., Stable Diffusion, RunwayML, Adobe Firefly) for content generation and enhancement.
• Knowledge of procedural generation techniques and experience using AI for automation in the 3D pipeline.
• Scripting/programming skills (Python, C++, etc.) to customize tools or build AI-driven automation in the workflow.
• A portfolio that showcases AI-integrated 3D projects, highlighting your ability to merge creativity with technology.
