Strong asset creation abilities (hard surface, architecture and/or organic assets)
Strong knowledge of breaking down complex scenes into efficient asset sets and components.
Experienced working methodically, from initial grey-block through to final assets, iterating with low-fidelity content to determine the optimal approach, before building final assets.
A strong sense of proportion, scene composition, and lighting.
Some experience in managing and leading a small subset of artists in delivering Environments content to final quality.
Some knowledge in assessing scope, making recommendations, providing solid estimates, and delivering on time and to quality.
Experience working with content-driven game engines (e.g. Unreal, Frostbite, Unity).
Some experience collaborating with designers, engineers, and tech artists to evolve workflows, pipelines, and to problem-solve.
Knowledge of the latest industry-standard tools, workflows, and techniques including physically based rendering.
Attention to detail and ability to follow artistic direction and bringing ideas and solutions to the table.
