• You have a foundational understanding of math (like vectors and angles) and are excited to see those concepts come to life in 3D.
• You’ve spent some time writing code and enjoy the logic of programming. You don't need to be an expert, but you aren't afraid of a script editor.
• You’ve opened a tool like Blender, Maya, or Unity and understand the basics of how 3D objects are built (vertices, UVs, etc.).
• You are currently studying (or just finished) a degree in a technical or creative field and are looking for a place to combine those two worlds.

Nice to Have

• Practical experience with coding languages such as C# or Python.
• Exposure to shader programming languages like HLSL, GLSL, or node-based shader graphs.
• Familiarity with commercial game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine.
