Weathering & Grime in Game Environments | Texturing Secrets #03

Learning to do weathering properly in environment art will take your work to much higher levels. It's one of the best ways to add style, believability, and visual harmony to a level. It's what makes things look grounded. However, weathering is a very complicated process, probably beyond our comprehension since it's the result of a huge amount of factors (weather, temperature, humidity, location, pollution, sun intensity, human interactions etc...). To become a great environment artist, one needs to understand at some level how weathering works.

In this video, I study some pictures I took in Kraków, and break down what we can learn from them.

I then show several examples of weathering in different games and finish by showing how I approached weathering on the Spanish Town VR.

Grab a tea or coffee, sit back, and enjoy these beautiful degraded buildings with me :)
