Generalist 3D skills in modelling and texturing (props, environments, characters). Experience with rigging and skinning for character assets. Understanding of game-ready asset creation workflows and production pipelines. Good understanding of shaders, materials, and shader editors. Ability to work with both character and prop assets. Practical experience with AI-assisted workflows where they improve iteration speed or production quality.
