blender-texturing

Texture authoring in Blender 5.2 - smart-material layers (edge wear, cavity grime, dust, rust, roughness breakup) from curvature/AO masks, z-fight-safe decal and sticker placement, trim sheets, tiling + vertex-color blends, texture painting, baking the look to game texture sets. Use when a material needs wear, dirt, a decal, trims or hand painting, not just wiring.

3The execution model is in `blender-core`. Material wiring and measured values are in `blender-pbr-materials`, and bakes are in `blender-texture-baking`. This skill authors the *surface story*: where paint chips, where dirt collects, what's printed on it.

14## How pros layer a material
15Start with a clean base (correct albedo/roughness, `blender-pbr-materials`), then stack from the inside out: **base → edge wear → rust → grime → dust**. Each layer has a physical cause:
16| Layer | Mask (cause) | Look |
17|---|---|---|
18| Edge wear | convex curvature (edges get hit) + chip noise | reveals the under-material: bare metal, primer, raw wood |
19| Rust | cavities and worn edges + blotch noise | orange-brown, metallic 0, roughness ~0.85 |
20| Grime | concave curvature + (1 − AO) (dirt collects where it can't be wiped) | dark, rougher, not metallic |
21| Dust | world up-facing normal × patch noise (it settles from above) | light, roughness ~0.9 |
