Albedo and diffuse textures are basically the same, except that in general you don’t paint shading into an albedo texture, it’s just the color information, and it’s a common practice to paint shading into a diffuse texture.

Remove lighting information, primarily shadows. Can use Photoshop or whatever you want.

Bitmap2Material3 by allegorithmic has some nice features also.

Bitmap2Material3 is also on sale on Steam for 25% off right now. As is the entire Substance Indie pack.

“Paint” may not be a good word for all relevant techniques. If you generate AO, and multiply it in with a Photoshop layer, I wouldn’t call that “painting”.

I suppose that’s true, I’m not all up on the texture tricks, I’m a code monkey. The guy who sits next to me is the texture master.
