Learn to create and apply a custom mask in Mari to drive color and bump details, bake heavy curves for performance, and combine masks with merge and paint nodes.

Finish the painting by building and refining texture layers in Mari, using masks, base color, line work, and color overlays, and export textures for the final asset.

Export textures from Mari by selecting channels, setting size, linear color space, and file type, choosing a destination, and organizing base color, metallic, roughness, and normal maps for final render.

Learn to build and apply custom masks in Mari to drive base color, roughness, metallic, and subsurface scattering, using body parts masks and ambient occlusion mesh maps for shading.

Add basic colors to the body, fins, eyes, and horns using bluish, yellowish, and brownish tones with masks and merges, then bake ambient occlusion and refine masks.
