• 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.
