The 3D Artist Community
We are pumped to have Javier Perez joining us this week for an AMA!
Javier Pérez is a Lead Material Artist at PlayStation Studios Visual Arts, where he spends his days figuring out how to make game worlds look believable up close and still hold together at scale. He’s been working in games for well over a decade, with a deep focus on materials, surfaces, and procedural workflows, especially in Substance Designer.
If you’ve ever wondered how AAA teams actually build materials that survive production constraints, engine limits, and art direction changes, this is very much his lane. Beyond studio work, Javier has a long track record of teaching, sharing breakdowns, and helping other artists level up their material workflows.
For the 3DAC AMA, he brings a very grounded, no-BS perspective on what really works in production, what doesn’t, and how to think about materials as systems rather than one-off assets.
