Applying dirt and edge maps tutorial for Blender

In this Blender tutorial we will be showing how to apply special maps to your materials which may come with your imported models like Dirt, or Edge wear, or Ambient occlusion and more.

We will be using a model of a knob from the Fifty Knobs and Dials collection available for purchase and download from our site. The link to this download is in the description below. This collection comes in a variety of file formats, including Blender. But for this tutorial, we will be showing you from the start, how to import a mesh and apply these special maps to your materials, and then how to adjust them within the materials editor to fine tune things like the color or amount of dirt or edge wear.
