Texture an Industrial Door for Games with nDo for CryENGINE

Optimize large Photoshop files by zipping normal groups to reduce memory usage, then unzip to continue work; keep masks intact by applying them at the end to avoid disappearing.

Learn to use sculpt mode in NDO2 to paint scratches on an industrial door, convert them into a normal map, and refine depth, slant, and overlays for realistic weathering.

Create ambient occlusion and cavity maps for an industrial door in CryENGINE, refining normal maps with blur and overlay to produce soft and sharp shadows for realistic diffuse lighting.

Block out the diffuse by applying light gray painted metal over a dark gray base, then color the handles and glass, using masks to reveal underlying metal.

Demonstrates applying low-frequency texture to a metal door diffuse map by selecting large-scale textures, smoothing scratches, and painting subtle color variation and highlights for depth.

Add photosourced rust, scratches, and decals to the diffuse map of an industrial door, using layered masking, overlays, and selective painting to emphasize door panels and frames.

Apply roughness to a red paint stripe, distort edges, and stamp random scratches using brushes and masks. Erase some scratches with white and adjust levels to sharpen the mask.

Learn to use cavity maps to add texture and make details pop on an industrial door in CryENGINE, by masking highlights, adjusting levels, and refining colors for a cohesive finish.

Generate a detailed normal map from diffuse using nDo2 presets, masking noise and layers, then preview under different lighting and prepare for a specular map in the next step.

Create a specular map by adjusting brightness and saturation across paint, metal, and glass layers to control reflections and highlights, then layer brush strokes and patterns for detail.
