Sample answer
“During my internship at Ubisoft, I worked on optimizing assets for a mobile game. I collaborated closely with 3D artists to ensure models were optimized for performance while maintaining visual quality. I set up weekly sync meetings to discuss our progress and used Unity to demonstrate how our changes impacted the game. This collaboration resulted in a 25% reduction in load times and improved visual fidelity, enhancing the user experience.”
