Responsibilities

  • Analyze and carry over real-life observations to shaders.
  • Help develop our material library.
  • Ensure every asset you create meets the requirements of those downstream.
  • Work closely with the head of the department and the rest of the team to deliver quality
    assets on time.
  • Help train the team in shader creation and optimization
