Work Experience

Lead Texture Artist

Jan 2024 - May 2024

As the lead texture artist for your master's thesis project i was responsible for:

Developing high-quality PBR textures that resembled the movie the closest possible. This involves creating both 2D textures (e.g., diffuse, normal, specular maps) and potentially procedural textures, depending on the requirements.


Working closely with other team members to ensure that everybody was working efficiently and coordinating the work beetween modeling, uv layout and texturing.


Overseeing the texture application process to ensure consistency and quality across different assets. This would involve reviewing and providing feedback on textures created by other team members.


Ensuring textures are optimized for performance without sacrificing visual quality, which is especially important in game and film production.

I also worked on modeling and UV mapping. This comprehensive involvement allowed me to have a deeper understanding of how textures interact with models and enhanced the overall quality of the project's visual output.
