Project requires knowledge of polygonal modeling and texturing. Several small VR environments will be built for a custom VR system that uses a 3D head-mounted display. Final art will be displayed in a gallery setting. Video editing and sound production skills are not required but are a plus. Follow on work with a current game engine may be possible.

Pay to be negotiated per hours available per week. Work to be done mostly off site, with regular meetings with the artist at her office where the work will be integrated to the VR platform.

Interested candidates can find more information on the project here:
