  • Work with Engineering and Technical Artists to ensure our materials are performant.
  • Collaborate with 3D artists and designers to understand the content needs of the game.
  • Work with the Lead Artists and tools teams to define tools and improvements necessary to meet content creator expectations.
  • Create “Hero” assets that will set a quality bar for both in-house artists and outsourcing.
  • Help maintain and organize the material library.
  • Assist in look development and style exploration.
  • Mentor other materials artists.
Skills, Experience and Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience as a Texture or Environment Artist with at least one shipped AAA game in a Senior role.
  • Previous experience with game engines, Unreal a plus.
  • Strong knowledge of texturing software, preferably Substance Designer and Painter.
  • Ability to create materials in a range of styles - from realistic to hand-painted.
  • Familiarity with material layer systems.
  • Ability to work independently with a high level of autonomy.
  • Experience with shader networks and procedural texturing.
  • Familiar with Perforce.
  • Ability to learn new areas of development.
  • Ability to work well within a team atmosphere.
  • Ability to take direction well.
  • Humble, open to coaching, an iterative process, and group critique.
  • Mature outlook on work ethics and responsibilities.
  • Excellent time management skills.
  • Creative problem solving skills.
  • Self-motivated, curious, and collaborative.
  • Flexible and collaborative mindset and attitude.
  • Uncompromising ethics and unwavering integrity.
  • Traditional art skills are a plus.
  • Familiar with texture sculpting techniques in Zbrush a plus.
  • Willing to uphold the values of Cloud Chamber.
