Introduction
Material artists are mainly building materials within substance designers but also to some extent building from zbrush or a combination of the two. Building materials based off requests from the team. Texture artists I put in the same category mainly because they are also working on texturing assets within the production pipeline using materials made by material artists as well. It should be noted that texture artists as a specialized role is not all that common. Think also of a texture artist as someone who can make brands and logos for fake business in your fictional world.
