Leaf Textures From Photography (Patreon)

Really cool free tutorial by Brent LeBlanc on how to create your own leaf textures using just Photos and Photoshop. While he ends up using Arnold to shade the leafs in Maya the workflow is very similar to Redshift and you can just base the Redshift shading networks around my Redshift Leaf tutorial. The techniques he uses to create the diffuse, specular, alpha maps though with Photoshop and a photo are perfect for any render engine.

I was actually planning on covering this workflow eventually but he covered it so well I think its worth sharing with you guys his tutorial. So pick up a camera and make your own custom leaf shaders if you need specific local plants. Enjoy!
