Texture Artist (Assassin's Creed Invictus)

JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Texture Artist at Ubi MTL, you'll make an immersive world come alive by creating and applying textures that give depth and dimension to everything within it. With a mix of observation, skill, and imagination, you add the details that define characters, objects, and environments.

• Work closely with level artists to understand environment needs.
• Create textures from scratch, references, or scans & build and organize your texture library.
• Partner with modellers to suggest textures and help with 3D mapping.
• Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints.
• Polish textures and apply them to 3D models.
• Document and share your knowledge and best practices.
• Modify your work based on feedback received from interdependent teams (debug and optimize).
