With my basic bump in place, I'm going to add the diffuse colors onto…my shipping container.…Then I'll start to refine with logos and rust.…I'll start out with the base color and I'm going to flood this entire texture with it.…That way in cases any accidental overlap in the polygons on the texture, it's a…color that I want versus the default white.…I'll start out by choosing my base color.…I'm going to borrow the blue by pressing I for eyedropper and clicking on this image.…Then I'll press G for Paint Bucket and it may be under the Gradient tools, so you may…have fly it out instead.…
I'll fill my base color and I'm also going to hide my bump group.…Organizing things like this makes it very easy.…I can turn off the layer visibility for the bump group and now I'm left with…just my template and my base color.…I'll zoom in down on the side and I'm ready to add the logo on the side.…I've got a Logo layer and I may make other layers using some text.…I'll start out by keeping that blue, hitting X to swap the colors and changing…
