Key Responsibilities:

  • Build, curate, and manage a core library of textures and materials to be used across the game.
  • Address the needs of other disciplines that might benefit from a shared library, including our Hard Surface and Character team.
  • Work with Technical Art to co-develop our layered material system and customize it to suit specific needs.
  • Work with Lighting to ensure consistency in our surface response across the game.
  • Communicate across internal and external teams new and changing surface textures.

  • Portfolio of highly detailed surfaces with a focus on realistic material development. Display a range of surface types from naturalistic, artificial, and foliage.
  • Mastery of relevant software packages such as Maya, Photoshop, Substance Designer, Substance Painter.
  • A strong service-minded approach to helping other art departments.
  • A strong understanding of modern physically based rendering, especially in Unreal.
