What You'll Do
- Character Modeling: Build expressive, stylized 3D characters tailored for a young, digital audience (similar to popular kids YouTube channels).
- Clean Topology: Create models with clean, animation-friendly edge flow and quad-based geometry to ensure smooth deformation when the characters move and dance.
- Texturing & Shading: Apply colorful, vibrant textures, basic UV unwrapping, and materials that fit our cheerful visual style.
- Production Pipeline: Experience the pacing of a modern animation studio, taking character assets from block-out all the way to final polish.
- Collaborate & Grow: Participate in review sessions, taking constructive feedback from senior artists to elevate your models to final production quality.

- Modeling Fundamentals: Solid understanding of 3D topology, edge loops, and maintaining clean geometry specifically for animated characters.
- Portfolio: A strong portfolio or ArtStation link showcasing stylized character models. (Note: Including wireframe renders/turnarounds in your portfolio is highly recommended!)
- Knowledge of character rigging in Blender is a strong plus.
Preferred Qualifications
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree/diploma in Animation, 3D Art, Game Design, or a related field.
