Be responsive to deadlines and work well under pressure
Work effectively and prioritise own tasks
Collaborate productively within a multi-disciplined team environment, liaising effectively with development staff in both Runcorn and Oxford
Skills:
Expert ability with Maya or 3D Studio Max and Adobe Photoshop
Create normal maps using Maya/Max, Photoshop, ZBrush or CrazyBump
First-class texture creation skills including a comprehensive knowledge of multi-layered material/shader effects

Model and texture both high and low polygon environments, including terrain, buildings and props
Strong technical understanding of console limitations and knowledge of efficient artwork techniques
Strong UV mapping skills with efficient layouts
Strong understanding of form, composition, colour and light in environments and architecture
