Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use the fundamental texture painting functions and how to create custom brushes and custom decals. This allows us to create custom texture details and improve the look of our models. We also learned how to paint decals onto a surface using the stencil painting feature, which will give us the freedom to add lots of custom details to our models and textures.

In the next chapter, we will exercise the texturing skills that we have learned so far by creating and applying multiple textures to a model, turning it from a plain clay object into a photorealistic asset.
