Free: AAA-Quality Methods for Environment Texturing in Photoshop Demo Video

QuantumTheory

Hi Everyone,

My name is Peter Sekula and I've been an experienced Senior Environmental Artist for over 12 years. In that time, I've worked on industry titles as the Tom Clancy's: Ghost Recon series, Rainbow Six series, Far Cry 4, and most recently Tom Clancy's: The Division. I'm also the founder of my own independent gamedev company, "Quantum Theory Entertainment."

Right now I'm working on a quick course that takes you through the techniques I've used and refined over the years to help me create very high quality, high resolution tiling photoreal diffuse textures using only Photoshop.
As a free sample, you can check out a free video on detail restoration and wear here:

The series will cover many of different approaches, all focused on a non-destructive workflow. I'll drop a link here once it's published on gumroad and/or udemy.

Thanks for the vid! Nice technique indeed. But now when its PBR here and there everyone tries to get rid of shadows instead of painting them in. Could imagine adding those details onto a separate AO channel, but would that be okay?

Edit: just got a thought that this can be used to add details to a roughness map. Have to check this out. Thanks;)

sweet technique thanks! gonna look out for this in the future gumroad/udemy

@maydream3d
you can apply the same technique when you want to
pop out edges and shadows when you do stylized handpainting

for pbr
you can use the technique when your editing your gloss/roughness map or even painting in micro-occlusion into the diffuse.
