Blizzard Style Hand-Painted Textures | Breakfast Art

[@bhoototiger3366]

I cant fathom how people can just paint height and lighting like that it blows my mind this is such a treat.

[@AlexeyKun]

No 3Dcoat, no 3dPainter Just awesome photoshop skills. Great!

[@Arkibus108]

Wow mind blown, never knew Photoshop could do this!!!

[@moncherryhead7530]

Same! :O I always wondered how people in the industry used photoshop to do this!!

[@ListenandEnjoy184]

TRUUUUUUUUUUUED

[@HomuHoms]

Knifely done!

[@ApplePaai]

This was so helpful! Thank you so much. It was hard to find a tutorial that explains how to use the 3D viewport and see someone's actual workflow for texture painting in Photoshop.

Thanks Jason, learned alot from this,

[@Fatesmaster]

Great work!

Thank you!

[@CptBlaueWolke]

The problem here is Blizzard doesn't do classical "handpainted" anymore - not even WoW. They use zbrush to make the highpoly look stylized bake normals and other maps and use them as masks and other stuff to get this special handpainted look. For a game like WoW the weapon also seems to be pretty highpoly. Besides the blizzard stuff this a great tutorial for learning the old school handpainted technique.

[@neel3D.]

Nice Painting! and very well explained:)

[@deepakkamlay2043]

Please make more stuff like this ....(may be a substance painter thing for very beginner) :)

[@yoloactual6975]

My OBJ export does not have a UV overlay by default, when looking at existing, or creating new diffuse maps. And the diffuse "properties" tab itself is completely blank. I can however, go to the 3D options panel, and create a wireframe painting overlay. Meaning the UV information is indeed there. What am I doing wrong with my export if there's a "right" way to do it?

[@tabatapalacios7413]

Thank you so much!!!

[@sandunidilshika3089]

hi there nice tutorial...

[@jasonwang7]

Thank you!

[@TheAngelArrow]

hand painting is so much effort, it looks really cool but man it takes long

[@jasonwang7]

Takes hard work and effort to create something nice ;)

[@CptBlaueWolke]

Yup, that's why blizzard stopped handpainting in photoshop and switched to zbrush for sculpting and baking + texturing in substance painter already a decade ago now.

[@tamaraorlova]

Great video! The part from 6:14 is repeated again at 8:46.

[@jasonwang7]

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@cheolbonge]

23:30 What is this brush?

[@bmas44]

what do you do if the pollygon lines dont show up in the new window? i can still paint and it shows up im just going it kind of blindly. Thank you so much for this tutorial, its so hard to find 3d photoshop painting tutorials not from 2013 ha

[@fpatrocinio]

Hi great tutorial. I've tried this but when i create the new texture i can't see the UVs on the other file, and i have UV's. I've tried diferent files and formats, but non seems to show the UV's. Is there some option i'm not seeing? I'm using the latest version of Photoshop. Thank you.

[@fpatrocinio]

What i've seen the latest version of photoshop it's a bit buggy with 3d files.

[@haganekazuki2241]

Same here. Photoshop imports the .obj file without any UVs...

[@MrXSharing_is_caring]

thanks dude your the best ;))))

[@fernando3061]

So it feels like the connection between the uv window and the 3d window keeps getting broken. I paint on uv's and after a few minutes nothing shows up on 3d model and vice versa. Anyone else running into this?

[@III3555]

this video teaches me a lot. more please~~~~

[@jasonwang7]

I'm glad that you benefited from the video! The channel is currently on temporary hiatus as my time is spent juggling between full-time work and daddy duties. I will post more videos when I find the time to!

[@xxero_foxx]

Is there any specific reason to do this in photoshop over Substance 3D painter? Seems like it's doing the same things but with more limitations

[@fragma81]

Great and very informative tutorial. Really appreciate ur effort creating this tutorial.... However, i tried exporting obj file (from blender) into ps CC 2019 and the model become soo bright (cant see it unless i rotate it at certain angle) and i find that ps become laggy/slow when i paint the UV.. I was hoping to use this workflow for live 3d painting because other software like MARI is very expensive. hmmm~

[@jasonwang7]

Hey Adry, you can select the "__PS_3D_Default" layer under your model in the 3D panel and increase the Shine to 100% and change the Specular color to black to make the model look less bright.

[@kyawzayya3877]

Why we are not using Substance painter?

[@kmytor]

Hello, excellent course, but I have a doubt what plugin you are using for the brushes at the bottom of photoshop

[@jasonwang7]

I got it from here - jonasdero.selz.com/item/53bdbf96a1416c1378ceb284 I have actually stopped using it since moving onto the latest version of Photoshop though. I find that the default brush tab in PS is sufficient for my use.

[@endlessemptyvoid]

Just wanna point out that since July 2024, we can't import 3D objects anymore. Another "great" idea from Adobe to force us to pay more by subscribing to Substance. Which pisses me off to no end, because your tutorial is amazing!

[@brady0340]

Sir I just have one doubt that is how to project my drawings on one side exactly the same way on the other side of the 3d object???

[@jasonwang7]

Not entirely sure if I fully understood your question, but make sure that your UVs for both sides are identically sized and stacked on top of one another.

[@brady0340]

@@jasonwang7 Actually I am making csgo weapon skins. when i merge down a pattern on one side of the selected portion of the 3D object I want it to automatically appear on other side....please tell me how to do it

[@manuel4073]

Hi Jason! I would like to know how did u made that Photoshop extension with the brushes. Kind rewards!

[@jasonwang7]

Hey Manuel, you can find the extension here - jonasdero.selz.com/item/53bdbf96a1416c1378ceb284 The newer versions of Photoshop (CC2019 onwards) has a pretty customisable default brush panel, so I am actually using that now instead.

[@ssdd7704]

I hope you will teach long time thank you

[@jasonwang7]

Thank you for the kind words! I hope to produce more videos, but I'm busy at the moment with my baby boy ^_^

[@ssdd7704]

Thank you 🤗

[@xXSoapXx]

Blizzard uses Photoshop and Maya too to create their assets for game and animations?

[@jasonwang7]

Photoshop and Maya are industry-standard tools. Whether or not Blizzard actually uses them, I can't be 100% sure as I am not working there.

[@xXSoapXx]

@@jasonwang7 Thanks , i was in doubt about using Maya to create models and then ZBrush instead of Photoshop to apply textures

[@raideng.5054]

How to stop real_time update, Cuz Photoshop does "Save" every time after I draw.

[@daspien4k737]

Hello, can I ask which brushes had you used? Or even better, get a download link for them?

[@jasonwang7]

As my brushset contains brushes from other artists, I will not be able to share it with you. Sorry about that!

[@morozeslisho]

What kind of brushes you use? :з

[@jasonwang7]

Hey Nick, I use the brush set from Jonas De Ro - gumroad.com/l/xPqoo

[@morozeslisho]

thank you very much ^з^

[@benjaminhawklyn]

When painting, it stops updating live and then acts like two different textures. I've been researching for answers but can't find an answer why its not updating live. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. How do you Cntrl+Z without breaking the update in real time?

[@jasonwang7]

Yea its still a little buggy and I hope Adobe can fix the issue. There seems to be no solutions other than to close and reopen the model and texture. I tend to only rely on the live painting feature during the initial phase. Once the base colours and shadows are set, I will close the 3D model preview and just focus on the texture document.

[@zidanridaniiswantoro]

hey jason i've quick question for you, are this texture need a normal and specullar map after you make this diffuse ? thank you

[@jasonwang7]

For this style, we usually do not create specular maps and just paint the glossiness directly into the diffuse. Normal maps are optional and dependent on the nature of your project (e.g mobile games typically don't use normal maps).

[@zidanridaniiswantoro]

@@jasonwang7 Alright i see, Thank you jason

[@DragonBallnutz]

Thank you for this!! May I ask how would you export the textures to a program like unreal engine 4?

[@jasonwang7]

As this workflow only produces a diffuse map, just save it as a JPG. In Unreal, import in the JPG and link it to the correct node in the material editor (should be either the diffuse or albedo channel)

[@DragonBallnutz]

@@jasonwang7 Thank you so so much!

[@Pinkpotatu]

I'm wondering do we need to retopo before put it into pts or just unwrap uv and then make texture?

[@jasonwang7]

For this example, I did not do a high poly sculpt, so there is no need for retopo

[@marcosgomezolivos]

y que pasa con el otro lado del arma?

[@MarziMadness]

was this textured on 1024x1024 or you compressed it later?

[@jasonwang7]

I typically work on a higher resolution before downscaling it to the actual size

[@uwaiswaiswais]

Singaporean or Malaysian lol? Awesome tutorial either way!

[@jasonwang7]

Hi, I'm a Singaporean :D

[@uwaiswaiswais]

@@jasonwang7 You sound just like Artgerm haha. Does Singapore have a big gamedev scene for Artists?

[@jasonwang7]

@@uwaiswaiswais The game industry is quite vibrant considering the size of the population. We have a good mix of AAA developers like Ubisoft and local indie developers like Gentlebros. There are also plenty of diploma programs that are churning out a stream of newcomers that are equipped with art and/or programming skills.

[@DinoMoonCreations]

I have 2 problems at this moment 1. Why does Photoshop decide to make me unable to use scrubby zoom as soon as I make a new texture for the 3d model 2. Why does my uv map not load... I made a texture uc map for it. I am sure

[@holotaice2308]

Just wanna ask what tool you use to blend the colors together. Every time I paint, the different colors always has this line in the middle.

[@jasonwang7]

I tend to spam the ALT (Eyedropper) key a lot when blending. This samples the new colour that is produced when one colour overlaps with another while using a brush with transfer mode turned on. You can use a soft brush to speed up the process but a hard brush will better fit the Blizzard cartoony art style.

[@holotaice2308]

@@jasonwang7 Thank you for your reply! Also, can the brush set ( the one you are using ) be used even after Photoshop updates to a new version? Using Ps CC 2018 currently.

[@jasonwang7]

@@holotaice2308 The "Brushes" panel built into PS2018/2019 actually achieves the same outcome, so I don't use that custom script anymore

[@Smokedship]

Its not working. Photoshop cc 2020 is not generating any UV maps, it just brings up a white canvas...

[@tonjas1231]

I have the same problem, currently trying everything to make it work. I read somewhere that you need to export the 3d model correctly tho with the material and everything

[@BotanyBayFishing]

i really wish i could use this workflow but photoshop is just buggy as hell whenever i switch over to 3d mode, and i cant fix it!!! someone help

[@remon563]

@kimidori hmm Substance painter does not have the same brush quality/pressure as PS though ? Wouldn't 3DCoat be a better suggestion ?Also it does not have a Photoshop bridge.. only imports 1 way!

[@JonCG]

Great stuff!f but old passioned ...

[@achmadmuslich5671]

Hey, can you help me? I have a problem with this workflow. Somehow it will always give me seams. How can I get rid of it?

[@jasonwang7]

Check that there are no overlapping UV shells on your unwrap

[@namanbisht975]

If we open it in 3ds max the texture will be there

[@jasonwang7]

You may have to save the texture file as a PSD/JPG and load it up in 3DSMax's material window

[@namanbisht975]

@@jasonwang7 I exactly done the same but in my Photoshop , when I am applying color on unwrap it is not appearing on the 3d side in Photoshop , but it work on 3ds max

[@ThePanSashko]

What is the correct name for this style?

[@jasonwang7]

I guess the common term associated to this style is "hand-painted" but because Blizzard games are known to use this style heavily, it can be called the Blizzard texturing style as well.

Great. 13 mins in and you skipped how to unwrap the uv. Now I'm missing an essential step. Good job.

what is it with people and that horrendous bass nonsense these days

[@CptBlaueWolke]

use painter it's was always the better solution since it was released.

[@adils4604]

I mainly do pbr work flow but I met a lot of great artists who do handpainted so this could help me understand and also push me to break my boundaries. Another note but would this work flow also work with using Marmoset Toolbag and exporting a uvtemplate from max?
