Japanese Shrine in the Mist

Asset Breakdown

For the shrine, I used a trim sheet to texture it. This allowed me to keep more model detail with out sacrificing on texel density.

I started off by looking at my references and breaking it down into different materials that I'll need for my trim sheet.
I used color folder in Photoshop to stay organized.

I then take the colors I used in the break down and start allocating them to a texture sheet.
At this point, I am making sure that the higher priority areas or the most used materials are getting the pixel resolution they need.

After that, I do a quick uv of the model and bring both the model and 2 planes into Substance Painter.

I like having the model in the scene because it allows me to see what it'll look like as I'm texturing.

Base Color

I took the roughness/ AO / And Metallic maps and combined them into a Detail map.

Normal Map

After I was done texturing, I brought the shrine into Unreal and then exported it. This way I could get the auto light map on the second uv channel. From there, I could bake a AO and multiply it to the trim sheets AO.

After that, I wanted to mess around with vertex colors and I thought this would be an opportune time to do so. I used the vertex color to add some color variation between the planks.

And here's a breakdown of the shrine for the ID and the Vertex Color.
