Texture Artist [Splinter Cell Remake]

As a Texture Artist at Ubisoft Toronto, you will create and apply textures to bring immersive and realistic 3D worlds to life for the Splinter Cell Remake. This role involves collaborating with the art team, researching visual references, applying PBR workflows, and creating textures from various sources. You will work with modelers and level artists, balance artistic quality with technical constraints, and optimize textures based on feedback, contributing to the overall visual storytelling and gameplay environment.

Must Have

• Collaborate with the art team on artistic vision and texture priorities
• Research and collect visual references for consistent texture language
• Apply physically based rendering (PBR) workflows
• Partner with level artists to identify environment texture needs
• Create textures from scratch, references, or scans
• Work with modelers and level artists for 3D mapping
• Balance artistic quality with performance budgets and technical constraints
• Document processes and best practices
• Iterate and optimize textures based on feedback
• Bake textures from high-resolution meshes and plan texture atlases
• Skill in basic modeling and creating texture breakdowns
• Proficiency in Substance Designer and 3D software (3ds Max, Blender, Houdini, ZBrush, Maya)
• Familiarity with game engines like Unreal Engine
• Strong art fundamentals (lighting, composition, proportion, color theory)
• Solid understanding of PBR workflows and game production constraints
• Knowledge of the game environment creation process
• Basic shader skills

Good to Have

• Passion for materials, textures, and immersive worldbuilding
• Good sense of scale and ability to maintain visual consistency
• Strong communication and presentation abilities
• Effective time-management skills and openness to feedback
