  • Proficiency with modeling software like Blender, Maya, or ZBrush.
  • Familiarity with stylized aesthetics and readable shapes/silhouettes.
  • Basic understanding of UV mapping and low-to-high poly workflows.
  • Ability to self-manage and communicate clearly in a remote team.
  • Willingness to learn and receive feedback.
  • No professional experience required – a great portfolio and attitude go far!
  • Able to contribute 5–10 hours per week .

Bonus Points

  • Background in 3D animation for video games.
  • Previous experience working on stylized action games.
  • Portfolio showcasing real-time combat animation and in-game characters.

  • Revenue bonus from sales of Zoo Dojo.
  • Access to internal production material, network, and attribution.
  • Ownership of your work for portfolio use (with proper credit).
  • Future opportunity for equity or paid roles as the studio grows

Full terms will be outlined in a Volunteer Contractor Agreement , which includes conditions for active involvement and eligibility.
