Learn how to create photorealistic 3D visuals and animations with 3DS Max and V-Ray. At Leon51, we specialize in architectural visualization (archviz), CGI interiors and exteriors, realistic materials, lighting, and rendering workflows. Watch this tutorial to learn professional techniques and improve your 3D rendering and visualization skills.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create dirt maps for 3D applications using Photoshop. I cover:
How to source dirt textures from photos or online resources
Adjusting brightness, contrast, and grayscale for optimal use in 3D shaders
Combining multiple layers and using layer masks, curves, and exposure adjustments
Creating seamless dirt maps ready for use in 3DS Max, Blender, Maya, Unity, Unreal Engine, and more
Dirt maps are essential for aging metals, adding weathering, and controlling glossiness, giving your materials realistic depth and detail in architectural visualization and CGI projects.
Here is the youtube tutorial.
