Moohnfa
Material & Texture Artist
Independent material practice focused on procedural PBR materials, texture systems and production-ready surface work.
About
Morien Ohneisser. Material and texture artist.
The short version
I build materials, textures and the systems around them.
I started working professionally in 2016. Since then I have created procedural and scan-based materials for games, commercials, product imagery, archviz, fashion, footwear, food, digital twins, software and asset libraries.
Public credits include Marmoset, Poliigon, GameTextures.com, Ditto and UNXD, following environment-art roles at Black Forest Games and elite3d. I have also contributed to AAA titles, shaders, tools and internal workflows under NDA.
I have created more than 435 materials, from single hero surfaces to large batches and reusable Designer graphs.
Based in Germany and available for remote studio work.
Production scope
Where material art enters the pipeline.
The common thread is not an industry label. It is turning a visual reference, physical sample, scan or technical requirement into a material another team can use and revise.
Environment materials and real-time textures
Tileable surfaces, trim materials, packed PBR maps, procedural variants, Unreal or Unity validation and external production support.
->Commercial, product and animation surfacing
Reference-matched finishes, hero detail, lookdev handoff, product colorways and materials that hold up through client review.
->Fashion, textiles and footwear materials
Weave, knit, leather, mesh, rubber, foam, coatings, materialways and editable colorway systems.
->Digital twins, configurators and reusable finishes
Physical-scale PBR definitions, product finish libraries, optimized real-time outputs and consistent variants across an asset family.
->Scanning workflows and texture cleanup
De-lighting, seam removal, tiling, map correction, scale recovery and batch-standardized scan conversion.
->Substance tools, shaders and workflows
Reusable generators, artist-facing parameters, helper graphs, shader support, output presets and maintainable source handoff.
->10+years in material and texture art
435+materials created

Relevant visual proof
Three published surfaces, three different material problems.
Selected experience
Material production across studios, products and libraries.
Named roles are listed where the work is public. NDA work is described only at sector level.

Tools & production skills
Designer first, with the rest of the pipeline in view.
Core work includes Substance 3D Designer, PBR texturing, scan cleanup, UV workflows, Marmoset Toolbag and material look development. I also work with Unreal Engine, Substance Painter, Blender, Photoshop, hard-surface assets, shaders and environment-art pipelines.

What I can be hired for
Material artist, texture artist or Substance Designer specialist.
Studios describe this work differently. My core scope includes custom PBR material creation, procedural texture authoring, material-library production, reference matching, scan cleanup, Substance Designer graph development, SBS/SBSAR delivery and material or texture outsourcing.
I can join for one difficult hero surface, a defined pack, a library sprint, a reusable generator or short-term production capacity. For larger batches, one representative material establishes the visual and technical standard before full production.
Interviews & features
External references, not self-written claims.
GameTextures interviewed me about procedural material workflows and published six of my materials. I also appeared on GAME.ART.TALK, have named Marmoset library credits, and share credit on Behance-curated work.
