Painted Toad

Practicing texture techniques in Substance Painter involves applying a rough, organic look to the Jade Toad sample model by combining subtle color variations and intricate detail. This method requires a deep understanding of how different texture settings interact with one another to achieve a realistic appearance. First, create a new layer for the base color map and set it to paint mode. Choose a gradient that ranges from dark green at the top to light green at the bottom, then carefully blend these colors together using a large brush to mimic the subtle transitions found in nature. Next, add a second layer for the normal map, setting it to painting mode as well. Use a small brush to apply detailed patterns and textures that give the model a lifelike appearance. Experiment with different settings until you achieve the desired level of depth and dimensionality. Once satisfied, combine these layers into a single texture by merging them together in Substance Painter's layer stack. Apply this new texture to the Jade Toad sample model, observing how it brings out the intricate details and subtle colors that make this model so captivating.
