Your Mission

We are looking for talented Interns to join our Technical Art team in creating high quality content and workflows for the artists at Treyarch.

What you'll be doing:
• Working with all art teams to understand and improve content creation processes and pipelines.

• Learning how Technical Art teams support a fully operational production art team.
• Monitoring game performance and memory usage, and learning best practices.

Minimum Requirements:

• Scripting and tools development in Python, C#, MEL, MAXScript, HLSL, or similar.

• Ability to use Maya, MAX, or an equivalent content creation package.

• An understanding of and interest in Physically Based Rendering.
• An honest understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses.

Extra Points:
• The desire to learn how everyone does everything.
• The ability to translate your experiences into written word.
• A strong desire to expand your skillset.
