Textures as a visual language
In this session, we'll delve into the mind of an artist who doesn't see surfaces, but stories. For Gabs, the passage of time on a material isn't a flaw, it's a narrative. Every mark, every subtle variation in roughness or color is a conscious decision that builds visual credibility.
She currently works as a Texture Artist at KitBash3D, where her focus is on understanding how light interacts with each surface to achieve results that feel authentic and tangible. Using tools like Substance Designer and Substance Painter, she transforms ideas into materials that not only look good, but also function.
During the session, we'll explore:
- Her professional journey and the moments that shaped her evolution
- What working in the 3D industry truly entails
- How to build a portfolio that conveys vision, not just technique
- Real strategies for applying to studios and increasing your chances
👉This will be a direct and practical conversation about how to position yourself as an artist in a competitive environment, understanding that mastering the software is just the beginning. The difference lies in the eye, the intention, and how you choose to tell stories through each material.

Gabs Hega
Material Artist @ KitBash3D
I'm passionate about observing how materials age; I believe every trace of wear tells a unique story. This approach informs my current role as a Texture Artist at KitBash3D, where I analyze how light interacts with surfaces to achieve absolute realism. I use tools like Substance Designer and Painter to bring these textures to life, always with the firm intention of sharing what I've learned and building community through tutorials.
