Need Help finding tutorials for Hand painted textures

Unity Engine

(Not sure which forum category this post belongs in, sooo yeah)

I’m looking for textures kinda directed towards hand painted textures similar to World of Warcraft, Idk what it is, but it seems to be the hardest category of tutorials to find.
I see a bunch of amazing stuff on Pinterest, but no tutorials, no videos, and most of the videos are old and “outdated” compared to how most WOW Textures are made, I know of one texture artist who uses Zbrush to sculpt the textures and edits them in photoshop, I honestly would really like to get into that, but finding tutorials even like that is difficult, I’ve heard that Hand painted textures are becoming popular, but you’d think something popular would have a lot of tutorials.

I’ve seen a couple tuts on 3Dmotive, but I don’t have money for that right now -_-…

Hi,
check out my post that generate stylized faked hand painted textures from an high poly sculpture fully editable in one click: Game Asset Generator for Blender - the fastest tool for game asset creation (free!) - Unity Engine - Unity Discussions

You will get a grayscale then you can use gradients to color it. To understand gradient texturing:

Are you sure you are searching for the right ‘style’?

There are plenty of resources on the internet about this:

If you’re looking for anything game art-related, the Polycount wiki is an amazing resource:

If you’re into game art, you’ll want to check the Polycount forums, as well.

Also, do yourself a favor and download the VERTEX books, they are all free and contain a crap-ton of information from industry professionals. Each one of them has over 150+ pages, and the newest one has over 300. Each of these contains some texturing stuff:
