Job details:
About Us ALMA 1938 specializes in premium leather applications across luxury interiors, architectural elements, custom installations, and bespoke craftsmanship.
Our work involves complex leather textures, detailed stitching, woven surfaces, embossed patterns, and high-end finishes that require extremely accurate and photorealistic visualization.
Important This is not a standard rendering role.
We are specifically looking for someone with advanced expertise in material creation, texture mapping, and photorealistic visualization.
If your portfolio does not include close-up material renders (not just overall scenes), this role is not suitable.
Role Overview We are hiring a highly skilled 3D Renderer / Visualization Artist who can:
● Create highly accurate custom leather materials from real references
● Apply precise texture mapping (UV mapping, scaling, alignment) across different surfaces
● Produce ultra-realistic renders that closely match real-life photography
This role requires a deep understanding of materials, texture behaviour, mapping techniques, and lighting, especially for leather.
Key Responsibilities● Create photorealistic 3D renders for luxury leather applications and interiors
● Develop advanced leather materials including:
□ Grain
□ Stitching
□ Embossing
□ Wrinkles and imperfections
□ Surface reflections
● Perform high-precision texture mapping, ensuring:
□ Correct scale of leather grain
□ Seamless alignment across panels and edges
□ Realistic wrapping on complex geometries
● Recreate complex finishes such as:
□ Crocodile textures
□ Woven leather
□ Perforated leather
□ Quilted patterns
● Match real material samples with high accuracy
● Produce:
□ Close-up material shots (macro level)
□ Product and interior visualizations
● Collaborate with the team to achieve premium visual output
Required Skills● Strong expertise in photorealistic 3D rendering
● Advanced material, shader creation and texture mapping (UV workflows)
● Deep understanding of leather texture behaviour and surface detailing
● Strong experience with:
□ UV mapping and unwrapping
□ Texture scaling and orientation
□ Displacement, bump and roughness maps
● Strong lighting and composition skills
● Ability to deliver near-photographic realism, especially at close-up level
Software Requirements Strong experience in some or most of the following:
● Blender / 3ds Max / Cinema 4D / Maya
● V-Ray / Corona Renderer / Redshift / Octane
● Substance 3D Painter
● Substance 3D Designer
● ZBrush or similar tools for surface detailing (preferred)
Preferred Experience● Luxury product rendering
● Interior architectural visualization
● Automotive interiors
● Furniture or material-focused visualization
● Experience with scanned materials or custom PBR workflows
