Liaising with designers and developers regarding the design brief. Role & responsibilities of a texture artist in film and games: Realism is the goal in live action sequences, while animation projects require consistency of visual style. The role of the Texture Artist in live action and animation is to create textures for 3D modeling throughout the production. With gaming graphics becoming ever more sophisticated the Texture Artist must deliver increasingly real and dynamic results. Textures are created from scratch or from real world references using scans which are imported and fashioned into graphics elements. This requires a broad knowledge of the skeletal framework and rigging that suspends and operates the models as the texturing must work as a layer on top of moving parts. They specialize in all surface qualities of 3D computer models such as skins, flesh, textiles, armor, fur, hair, scales, metallic finishes, nails, claws, membranes, etc. The role of the gaming Texture Artist is to recreate realistic or fantastical textures or surfaces to characters or objects. In live action productions this will be more photo-realistic as it must integrate seemlessly with the footage, and sometimes replicate surfaces that exist in real life. Texture Artists in live action film and 3D animation features create textures for the elements of the productions that require complex texturing. Gaming Texture Artists work closely with modelers and shading/lighting technical directors to create the best possible elements for the game universe. 
Covering gaming worlds in a variety of surfaces prevents boredom and enhances gameplay. In line with this trend, some of the work of the Texture Artist involves scanning photographs and then applying them to objects and environments created by the 3D Modelers.Ĭustom textures are created for fantasy environments, objects and creatures but they are always rooted in reality. With games now requiring more photo-realistic finishes these days the role of the Texture Artist is increasing in importance.
They require a biological understanding of skin in humans and animals, as well as a knowledge of textiles, geographic elements, architectural finishes, landscapes, etc. Texture artists specialize in creating the textures of 3D models.
