Step 1

Continuing on from the last part of the tutorial series, go to Smart Material shelf, drag and drop Wood Walnut material into Layers. Add a black mask, fill the colour for staircases.

Add a black mask then fill all the steels’ UVs.

Step 42

Duplicate the layer, change the colour to darker red. Add a black mask, using Sponge brush to paint some variation on the roof tiles.

Step 43

Duplicate again the dark red layer, change to purple color and multiply. Add black mask, right click and add generator, select 3D Linear Gradient.

Step 44

Press B to view Position mapping, pick the colour from the top and bottom of the roof for 3D Position Start and End.

Step 45

Duplicate again the Mortar Wall layer, change the colour to orange and add black mask, paint on the roof tiles to create variation.
