Technical Artist (Unity Lookdev)

We’re building an ultra-realistic character in Unity and need a strong Technical Artist to set up lookdev and achieve a consistent, production-ready visual result. You will be responsible for creating a high-quality lighting and shading setup, tuning materials, and ensuring the character looks realistic across our target render pipeline. What you will do: - Set up character lookdev in Unity (realistic skin/eyes/hair/clothing materials). - Create and tune a lighting setup (key/fill/rim, HDRI, shadow quality, reflections, exposure/tonemapping). - Configure and optimize shaders/materials (PBR, SSS/skin, eye shader, hair shader, micro-detail, roughness/spec balance). - Adjust post-processing (color, bloom, DOF if needed, filmic tonemapping) to get a natural result. - Ensure visual consistency across camera angles and typical “streaming” framing. - Deliver a clean Unity scene/prefab with documented settings for future iterations. Requirements (must have): - Strong experience as a Unity Technical Artist (lookdev/lighting/materials/shaders). - Solid understanding of realistic PBR workflows and how to debug shading issues. - Experience with HDRP or URP (please specify which pipeline you worked with). - Portfolio showing realistic characters in Unity (screenshots/videos). Nice to have: - Experience with realistic skin/SSS workflows (HDRP SSS, custom solutions, etc.). - Hair rendering experience (cards/strands workflows; shader tuning). - Optimization mindset (quality vs performance trade-offs). Deliverables: - Unity project scene (or a package) with final lighting + post-process + tuned materials/shaders. - Short setup notes: key settings used, what to tweak, and how to keep consistent results. To apply, please include: - Links to 2–3 relevant lookdev examples (Unity). - Which pipeline you recommend (HDRP/URP) and why. Your estimate: how many iterations you typically need to reach “final look”. Start: ASAP
