This is Part 2 of the M24 Grenade texturing series — watch Part 1 first to build the foundation. ▶ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: • Building a PBR painted metal base with realistic color, roughness, and height variations • Creating paint microsurface details: unevenness, fingerprints, hair stuck under paint • Simulating realistic paint damage using real photograph stencils (Large / Medium / Small spot system) • Adding corrosion and oxidized metal exposed under damaged paint layers • Creating realistic rust with color variation, saturation control, and peeling paint edge effects • Peeling paint effect using anchor points, procedural masks, and subtract blending mode • Building aged decals with ragged edges, paint wear, and AO-based separation • Comprehensive dirt and weathering layers with curvature-based masking • Applying sharpening filters on roughness and color channels for the final crisp look 🕒 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction 00:51 - Paint 08:31 - Paint Damage 09:29 - Oxidized Metal 13:17 - Peeling Paint 14:04 - Decal 15:15 - Dust&Dirt 16:08 - Sharpen 📌 Full M24 Grenade series: ► Part 1 —    • Realistic Wood in Substance Painter | M24 ...   ► Part 3 —    • Transform Your 3D Models into Cinematic Shots   🔔 Subscribe for more advanced Marmoset Toolbag and 3D art tutorials 👍 Like if this helped you level up your rendering game 💬 Join the Discussion: What is your biggest struggle when painted metal?
