Surfacing/Lookdev Artist

The Surfacing/Lookdev Artist role involves creating photorealistic textures and developing the look for hard surface and organic models, environments, hero creature work, and character work. As a Surfacing/Lookdev Artist, your key responsibilities will include creating photorealistic textures, both hand-painted and from set photography, to a level of detail necessary for hero CG assets. You will also be assembling the textures into a shading network and tweaking its lookdev to accurately match the references. Working independently on defined tasks, you will collaborate with artists and supervisors in modeling, shading, and lighting during the look development process. To qualify for this role, you should have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, along with previous high-end production experience in visual effects for live-action feature films or television. Hands-on experience using Mari is essential, while proficiency in Photoshop, ZBrush, and Mudbox is a plus. A working knowledge of Maya is necessary, and familiarity with 3ds Max, V-Ray, and Nuke is advantageous. You should also have a clear understanding of color space, shading, lighting, and rendering methodologies, as well as familiarity with digital photography.
