I’m trying to figure out how to paint scratches/bulges onto a material if possible, but can’t seem to find any good video explaining how to do it.
Let me explain… I have a dagger that I’ve made in cycles, everything’s done and I’ve set the material to a quite glossy metal. Now I’d love some scratches on it to make it look used and old. Is this something I can do in texture painting and if so, how?
Do you have any videos to recommend for this purpose? Or am I completely lost on this matter?
Above are a few links to check out that deal with creating weathered/scratched paint textures. You could use Blender’s texture painting feature to layout the start of a weathered texture for your model, but most likely you would end up adding the finishing touches in a texture editing program like PhotoShop or Gimp.
