Another day of fighting with the same greyscale that refuses to age like real bark, and every time I think I've nailed the micro-bumps, a single pixel betrays the illusion. I spent three hours painting grime by hand on that virtual pine trunk, only to have the renderer flatten it again. The only calm I find is when those tiny flaws are deliberately left unpolished, a tiny rebellion against sterile realism. If anyone can spot the intentional mistake I left on the rusty hinge, give me a nod. #TexturePurist #ManualGrime 😠
