• Perform basic UV layout and ensure assets are appropriately structured for downstream texturing. Cross-Functional Collaboration • Work closely with 3 D Artists, Technical Artists, Unity Developers, Simulation Engineers, Clinical Experts, and XR teams.

• Participate in regular production and pipeline review meetings.

• Coordinate with downstream artists for sculpting, texturing, rigging, and animation requirements.

• Proactively communicate technical challenges, dependencies, quality issues, and production blockers.

• Contribute to improving the overall 3 D production pipeline and asset development standards. Documentation, Version Control &

• Quality • Follow established asset naming, folder structure, modeling, and production standards.

• Maintain asset versions using Git, Git LFS, or the approved Digital Asset Management (DAM) workflow.

• Document polygon budgets, LOD structure, asset versions, references, and known issues where required.

• Perform quality checks on geometry, topology, scale, pivots, naming, and performance before asset handover.

• Ensure timely delivery of assets according to project milestones and production requirements. Innovation &

• Learning Contribute to the development of next-generation immersive surgical training and robotic simulation technologies. Explore new techniques for 3 D modeling, optimization, visualization, and real-time simulation. Stay updated with emerging technologies in 3 D modeling, XR/VR/AR, medical visualization, gaming, and simulation.
