Just as a thought experiment, I wanted to try to mock a brush-paint like bumpmap for the pressure-hull interior in Rhino. This wouldn't look right for mass-produced fitted parts such as motors, tanks, electrical boxes, and the like which would have been sprayed on a production line, but it would be for interior bulkheads, hatches, ect that likely would have been brush-painted, and/or touched up while at sea.

Disclaimer: It would still need a better dirtmap over it. Perhaps it should have more orange-peel. I am not sure if your game-engine (Unity?) affords an area/interior environment map, but it helps things like this.

Also, looking at surviving UBoat pics, which may not have the correct colors, the lighting varying temperature makes finding the correct colors challenging.

At the very last minute before posting this, I just found a paint document that pointed to traceable colors for all the parts of the UBoat. These have part numbers with modern color swatches! Such as "RAL 9002 paint"

The original Uboat painting document for modeling document was here: https://amp.rokket.biz/docs/u-boat_colours_with_photos_5.pdf

I might give the colors another try with official swatches. LOL: I wish it were possible to add paint drips, runs, and hangers (line of paint), but that would make it very hard to map everything right.
