About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Material Artist / Reviewer on a freelance basis. In this role, you will review and approve materials created in Substance Designer by external vendors, ensuring they meet visual quality, technical standards, and project style guidelines.

You will assess material graphs, evaluate texture quality, consistency, and performance impact, and provide clear, actionable feedback. You will also assist with integrating materials into the game engine, ensuring proper functionality and optimization.

  • Review materials created in Substance Designer by external vendors for quality, consistency, and performance.
  • Provide actionable, detailed feedback to vendors to ensure adherence to project style guides and technical standards.
  • Integrate approved materials into the engine, ensuring correct setup, shader functionality, and optimization.
  • Collaborate closely with technical artists and environment/character teams to maintain pipeline efficiency.
  • Troubleshoot material issues and ensure consistent visual fidelity across the project.
  • Maintain documentation and communicate best practices for material creation and review.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 1+ year of experience in material artist or reviewer / outsourcing management role.
  • At least one shipped title (console, PC, or equivalent).
  • Strong knowledge of Substance Designer and procedural material creation.
  • Experience with Unreal Engine or a comparable real-time engine.
  • Understanding of material optimization for real-time rendering.
  • Excellent communication and feedback delivery skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain consistency across materials.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience managing or reviewing outsourced material teams.
  • Experience with shader authoring and engine integration.
  • Familiarity with version control tools such as Perforce or Git.
  • Knowledge of performance budgets and best practices for high-quality real-time materials.
