  • Support the Director in the overall VFX vision for the game while taking ownership of environments, gameplay mechanics, and cinematic sequences.

  • Proficiency in industry-standard software such as After Effects,, Maya, or 3ds Max.
  • Strong artistic skills and understanding of traditional art and animation principles.
  • Ability to write scripts and actions to create VFX.
