[Question] Advanced texturing - Scuff marks

[nli2work]

get a small to medium Intuos and you'll never look back to a mouse. the only time I use a mouse these days is for games that doesn't respond tablet input. Cintiq is nice if you can afford it, and if you paint textures and/or draw teenagers with big guns all day long. but for day to day a tablet is fine, and a whole lot cheaper.

found this gem I missed before. using vertex paint to get your edge selections, then distorting it with procedurals and exporting the texture for use as selection mask. It's done in Max, but I'm sure it's replicable in Blender or something else.

Here's another shot with more defined edges and Porkjet's texture on the left for comparison.

It looks good. I would find the tutorial you are considering making to likely be very helpful to me and others here.
