Page Five - Texture Painter
10/31/2023

Here I tried to learn the texture paint tool in blender to add extra detail to the texture.
(I intended to use the spider animation, unfortunately the source file is saved on another computer, the computer graphic card was damaged but I didn’t back up the file. So I did this task on another model I created for one of the design project.)

 
UV Unwrapping
First I mark seams on the edges of the cylinders and edges of the fan leaves. Then I choose smart UV unwrap tool to unwrap the model.

Texture Paint
I used the texture paint tool buit in blender and chose to create a bump map, this texture is simultaneously linked in the shader editor. 

In shader editor, I mixed my bump map with another noise texture to further add details to the texture. Then I add a colour ramp to control the distribution of the texture.

Lastly I adjusted the base colour using a colour ramp node and the mix bump texture as a factor to make the colour change corelates with the texture change.
