3D Realms Modeler Wanted

3D Realms is looking to hire a Prey modeler to work along side their already existing model genius Allen Dilling.

3D Modeler/Animator Job description:

Creation of both high and low polygon-count models for our upcoming 3D blockbuster "Prey." Ability to create an organic model and convincingly animate it. Ability to thrive within a team environment. Ability to share ideas and accept constructive criticism. A burning desire to exceed expectations. The job pays a salary, PLUS a royalty-like bonus (which most game companies do not), as well as medical and dental benefits.

The "big four" skills we are looking for, in order of importance to us:
1.organic animation skills (NOT 'mechs, space ships, cars, etc.)
2.limited poly-count modeling skills
3.sketching and drawing ability
4.2D texture ability

Job Requirements:

First and foremost, you must be a die hard game player. If you don't play 'em, you have no business making 'em. :) 
Technical proficience in 3D Studio MAX is REQUIRED. If you are not a 3D Studio god, do not continue. 
Knowledge of 3D Studio add-ons such as "Character Studio", "Bones" and others are a big plus.
Traditional sketching/drawing skills are a definite plus. These candidates will be considered before all others. We need someone who can sketch a character concept, refine it, and then create the 3D model from the drawings.
Previous experience with another game company is a huge plus.
Knowledge of IBM PC tools only. Sorry, no MAC or SGI candidates.
Must be over 18, live in the USA, be willing to relocate to Texas, be a team player and be willing to work long hard hours during a project.
