Job summary

Adnet Global in Mumbai is seeking a skilled texture artist to create high-quality PBR textures and materials for real-time web applications. You will optimize UV layouts, match reference materials, and manage 2K textures with minimal distortion, ensuring accurate roughness, metallic and opacity maps.

Export assets in glTF/GLB format and validate them in a Three.js viewer, collaborating with artists and production teams to meet tight delivery timelines while maintaining visual quality.

Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of PBR texturing and material workflows.
• Proficiency in UV unwrapping, UV optimization, and texture-space utilization.
• Expertise with Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, and Opacity maps.
• Ability to recreate real-world materials from photographs.
• Experience with 2K textures for real-time/web apps.
• Understanding of transparency and translucency workflows.
• Troubleshooting textures, materials, UVs and exports.
• High attention to detail balancing quality and optimization.
• Experience with Three.js or other real-time viewers is an asset.
• Knowledge of Unreal Engine or web 3D asset pipelines is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Create high-quality PBR textures and materials based on references.
• Create clean, efficient UV layouts with minimal distortion.
• Work with 2K textures and optimize for real-time/web apps.
• Match colour, roughness, metallic, and other material properties to references.
• Create and manage PBR maps: Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Opacity.
• Recreate transparency and translucency where required.
• Export final assets in glTF/GLB format with preserved textures.
• Test assets in a Three.js viewer and troubleshoot UV/texture/export issues.
• Maintain organized texture naming, folders, and source files.
• Collaborate with artists and production teams to meet timelines.
• Review and refine textures based on feedback.

Job description

Skills Required:

• Strong understanding of PBR texturing and material workflows in Substance Painter.
• Proficiency in UV unwrapping, UV optimization, and efficient texture-space utilization.
• Good knowledge of Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Opacity/Alpha, and other PBR maps.
• Ability to accurately recreate real-world materials and surface properties from photographic references.
• Experience working with 2K textures and optimizing assets for real-time/web applications.
• Good understanding of transparency and translucency workflows.
• Ability to troubleshoot texture, material, UV, and export-related issues.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to balance visual quality, accuracy, and optimization.
• Experience with Three.js or other real-time viewers is an advantage.
• Experience with Unreal Engine, web-based 3D, product visualization, or e-commerce assets is a plus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create high-quality PBR textures and materials based on reference images and real-world material properties.
• Create clean, efficient, and optimized UV layouts with minimal stretching, distortion, and maximum texture-space utilization.
• Work with 2K (2048 2048) texture resolution and optimize textures for real-time and web-based applications.
• Accurately match colour, surface details, roughness, metallic properties, reflections, and other material characteristics to the provided references.
• Create and manage appropriate PBR maps such as Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Opacity/Alpha, and other required maps.
• Recreate transparency and translucency accurately where required.
• Follow a single-material workflow where specified.
• Export final assets in glTF/GLB format, ensuring textures and material properties are correctly preserved.
• Test and validate final assets in a Three.js viewer using default settings. Troubleshoot issues related to UVs, textures, materials, transparency, translucency, and glTF export.
• Maintain clean and organized texture naming conventions, folder structures, and source files.
• Collaborate with artists, supervisors, and production teams to meet quality and delivery requirements.
• Review and refine textures based on feedback while maintaining production timelines.

Prefered Software:

• Primary: Substance 3D Painter, Photoshop, Blender.
• Additional: Three.js viewer, Unreal Engine, or other real-time 3D tools is an advantage.
