Weathering / 1.0
Controlled weathering
Use a few marks to describe where wear occurs.

Map wear
Mark likely contact, footfall and friction areas. Choose a dominant mark for each rather than placing rust, mud, dust and scratches everywhere.
Control density
Test sponge marks on scrap material before adding a few to the model. Leave small marks and clear space around larger chips. Establish dark marks first, then decide where exposed-metal highlights help.
Stop and review
Return the model to normal viewing distance. If marks dominate everything, reduce their extent or repaint with the base color. Keep a clean version and a weathered version for comparison.
