Vehicle Modeler job has been taken couple of weeks ago, but now they are looking for a Junior Background Artist.

So if you like set design & handy with Maya (and like World War 2 period European archiecture), definately give it a try. The contact info is the same as the above.

good luck,
kevin

Hi MacJ,

Really nice work, I like you sculptures especially.

You should contact the e-mail address listed above. From what I know, they will be making up their decision to hire this coming Thurs. So, if you are interested definately send your work in ASAP Monday if possible.

My only suggestion would be for you to include a bit more 3D models in your portfolio to show you are quite comfortable with using Maya. Some Environment models will be a plus.

Good luck and I'll PM you with more info.
