Rotor’s Master Asset Team (MAT) specialises in CAD conversion, predominantly working on vehicles in Maya and is the central hub for all incoming assets. It’s all about technical accuracy and precision!

Our MAT process is fundamental to converting and translating heavy CAD files into usable files within the Rotor rendering system and real time requirements.
You will utilise all your fantastic skills for CAD optimisation using various disciplines such as modelling, surfacing, rigging, lighting, and compositing in order to produce incredible spec accurate assets for image generation by our other extremely talented departments!
