There are a handful of different specializations under the ‘Tech Art’ umbrella, the first step would be to identify what area interests them.  Below are different specializations and what skills I would expect for each discipline.  

Technical Animator (TD at IG)
This role is for an individual interested in empowering Animators.  Physics, jiggle, muscle deformation and cloth simulation are particular areas that would be explored in this role.  A portfolio would show the following:

•	Understanding of Rigging 
•	Understanding of OpenMaya/PyMEL/MEL/Python
•	Understanding of Mocap Pipelines

Technical Artist (Rendering)
