- Performance Optimization: Establish and enforce strict performance budgets (polycounts, draw calls, texture memory) to ensure a stable high FPS in multiplayer local or online sessions.
- Rigging & Technical Animation: Oversee complex character rigging and retargeting systems to allow for the expressive, comedic animations typical of the show’s characters.
- VFX & Lighting: Create performant, stylized visual effects (Niagara/Shuriken) and lighting setups that enhance the "game show" or "family home" atmosphere without cluttering the screen.
- Documentation & Training: Create clear technical guides and "Source of Truth" documentation to help non‑technical artists navigate new tools and workflows.

The Skills:
