What CDPR Looks for in Your Portfolio

🌍 Environment Artists

CDPR builds open-world environments at scale. They want to see modular kit construction, realistic material work in Substance, and at least one large-scale scene — not just hero prop closeups. REDengine and UE5 experience both relevant.

⚙️ Technical Artists

Show pipeline thinking. CDPR TAs write tools, optimize shaders, and bridge art and engineering. Houdini procedural work, custom Maya tools, or shader graphs in UE5 / REDengine will stand out. Pure art portfolios rarely get TA callbacks.

✨ VFX Artists

Cyberpunk and Witcher VFX are stylized-realistic. Show real-time particle and shader work — not just offline simulations. Niagara (UE5), Houdini for simulation baking, and custom texture flipbooks are all relevant. Show at least one combat VFX piece.

🎨 Concept Artists

CDPR concept art is production-ready — final character sheets, prop breakdowns, and environment mood boards that go directly to 3D. Show your ability to solve design problems, not just produce beautiful paintings. industrial design sensibility is a plus for Cyberpunk roles.
