In this tutorial we'll learn how to create painted image textures for games from real images without painting even a brush stroke. We'll be using krita and G"MIC-qt filters. You can combine the final result in blender.

Unlock the secrets of creating stunning hand-painted textures without picking up a paintbrush in this captivating YouTube tutorial. Join us as we embark on a journey to transform real photos into mesmerizing hand-painted masterpieces, revealing hidden textures lurking within the details.

Using Pixabay as our resource, we'll select the perfect photo, ensuring it's evenly lit and head-on for optimal results. From there, we'll prepare the photo by straightening out any distortions and cropping it to a seamless, square, power-of-two texture size.

With the help of G'MIC, we'll remove any seams from the photo and split the details into small, medium, large, and residual layers. We'll then add brush strokes to layer four, giving our texture that authentic hand-painted feel.

Next, we'll smooth out the details in layers one through three, retaining just enough to achieve that chunky, painterly look. Once satisfied, we'll create the diffuse, normal, and ambient occlusion maps, incorporating the surface details into our shading and lighting.
