3D Animation & 2D Design Internship — Aviation Focus

Roles:

Support the 3D team in building aviation assets, airport environments, and short animations for training and e-learning: hands-on production, fast iteration, high accuracy.

Responsibilities:

• Modeling: Aircraft components, cockpit instruments/panels, GSE (tugs, GPUs, belt loaders), and airport infrastructure (runways, taxiways, aprons, stands, markings, terminal exteriors, jet bridges, ATC towers, perimeter fencing, signage).
• Materials/Shaders: Set up basic PBR materials; glass (IOR/refraction), metal/paint, illuminated panels; apply decals/markings accurately.
• Lighting/Rendering: Build simple night/day rigs (Eevee/Cycles); airport lighting elements (edge/centerline, stop bars, REIL, PAPI/VASI, apron floods, beacons).
• Animation: Basic sequences, control surfaces, landing gear, switches/displays, jet bridge dock/undock, pushback cues, marshaller signals.
• Production Hygiene: Scene organization, naming, LODs, collections/instances, texture packing, versioning.
• Delivery: Stills/turntables/short clips that match training storyboards and checklists.

Requirements:

• Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/After Effects for textures/compositing.
• Basic particle systems (smoke, condensation, heat shimmer).
• Student/recent grad in 3D/Animation
• Solid Blender fundamentals (modeling, UVs, keyframe animation).
• Eye for realism and measurement accuracy; follows references precisely.
• Coachable, fast feedback cycles, reliable with deadlines.
