Hi. Check out this post. It's for clothing but the same principle applies. Put your texture on top of the baked ambient occlusion map (it's a baked shadow map using Blender) and try the different layer blending styles. You don't have to use hue if that doesn't look right. Try all the blending styles. Go into Image > Adjustments and play around with Hue/Saturation. Play with Levels to increase or decrease the lightness or darkness of your image. Lower the opacity of your texture if the bottom layer doesn't show through enough. Every situation is different, really. |

thank you but why they bake ambient occlusion and then overlaid it on the texture is this to make objetc realistic? In real life, if there is a source of light, everything casts shadows, whether on themselves or other objects. Without the shadow objects look wrong, flat. Ambient occlusion imitates this process (to an extent) creating a more realistic looking texture. However, you want your object to display another texture (say, wood) as well, so you need to overlay ambient occlusion(“shadows”) on top of that texture (wood). this is not really the best way of doing it, but for a beginner it will work |

Yes, watch that tutorial. You basically create a plane, create a material with transparency, use an image of a flower on the transparent background, and then shape it the way you want. You can edit the uvs after if the image becomes stretched
