Texture creation

ivytextureset — Texture-set - fro left to right: Base Colour; Normal; Roughness; Subsurface Scattering

After gathering some sample leaves from a nearby forest, I photographed them with and without a lightplate to get my Base colour and Subsurface scattering map.

I then arranged the individual leaves in photoshop to get albedo, subsurface scattering and heightmap textures that can later be used in Substance Designer to create the texture-set.
