🎮✨ Day 36: Creating an Epic AAA Game Character
6👢 Let’s talk leather! Crafting realistic, aged leather textures can bring your model to life. Here’s how I tackled it:
1️⃣ Start Strong: Apply a deep base color, then layer a grunge map to replicate natural leather grain. Adjust the intensity for coarse or smooth textures.
2️⃣ Add Creases & Folds: Use a Curvature Generator to highlight natural wear patterns.
3️⃣ Simulate Grime: Add a dirt mask for a realistic touch of grime and aging.
4️⃣ Blend Smooth & Rough: Use a roughness map to balance polished areas with matte, worn sections.
5️⃣ Worn Edges: A paint peel filter at low opacity works wonders for giving edges a well-used, authentic feel.
✨ Pro Tip: Leather textures are all about subtle details. Master these, and your models will feel alive!
🔥 Stick around—more exciting updates are coming soon! 🚀
