What You May Work On

Evaluate AI-generated 3D scenes, interactive environments, simulations, and spatial experiences for visual and technical quality

Provide clear, structured feedback on scene composition, lighting, materials, physical dynamics, asset integration, interaction, and overall visual coherence

Help define quality benchmarks and evaluation criteria for what great AI-generated 3D experiences should look and feel like

Identify common failure modes in AI-generated 3D work, from broken physics and interactions to poor spatial composition or inconsistent visual feedback

Create reference examples, prototypes, or "golden" outputs that demonstrate best-in-class 3D execution

Contribute to research exploring how AI models can better understand and generate interactive 3D experiences

What We're Looking For

Strong portfolio showcasing high-quality 3D design, interactive environments, or spatial experiences

Strong understanding of 3D composition, lighting, materials, animation, and visual coherence

Ability to articulate creative and technical feedback clearly and constructively

Strong 3D design instincts and awareness of contemporary visual culture, 3D trends, and emerging digital aesthetics

Comfort working in fast-paced, experimental environments (experience with AI, 3D tools, or creative technology is a plus)
