Texture artist

Short description: Digital artist

Textures applied to a digital model of a house

A texture artist is an individual who develops textures for digital media, usually for video games, movies, web sites and television shows or things like 3D posters.[1][2] These textures can be in the form of 2D or (rarely) 3D art that may be overlaid onto a polygon mesh to create a realistic 3D model.

Texture artists often take advantage of web sites for the purposes of marketing their art and self-promotion of their skills with the goal of gaining employment from a professional game studio or to join a team working on a "mod" (modification) of an existing game in hopes of establishing industry or trade credentials.[3]
