How to make your own old painted wood material | Substance Painter

In this tutorial I will show you how to make your own old painted wood material in Substance Painter for your project.

Texture

I will start with a wood base that I made in a previous tutorial

I open the wood material and select the first grain layer

I make sure the height channel is selected

I increase the height for this particular layer

I need to do this so the wood texture will show underneath the paint layer

I repeat this process for the other two grain layers

I add a fill layer and rename it to paint base

Under the materials panel, I will change the base color to a pale blue [#ABB7B8]

I change the roughness to 0.4 since I want to indicate this is old paint which has lose some of its shininess

I also change the height to 0.05

I use CTRL + D to duplicate this layer and rename it to paint variation

I will change the color to a light green [#A0B8A8]

To mix these two color together, I right-click and add a black mask to this layer

I right-click on the black mask and add a fill layer

I select the grayscale option and search for grunge plaster paint and choose the first one

I will decrease the balance to 0.25

I change the blend mode to tint and then decrease the balance

I rename the folder that contains my paint layer and the filters layers and the wood layer

I can now right-click on the folder and create a smart material
