  • Experience with Maya and 3DS Max for rigging, scripting, and tool creation.
  • Experience with Houdini for procedural rigs, physics, or motion tools is a bonus.
  • Experience with Perforce, Git, and standard DCC tools such as Photoshop and Substance.
  • Must have relevant working rights for Malaysia or Indonesia.
