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.
