30 Seamless 4K Surface Imperfections. 16-bit and Handmade. Non-GMO, Cage Free.

Guys, this one has been a long time coming and I can't be more excited!! Today we finally make our own #SurfaceImperfections from scratch! It's literally my favorite step of the 3D process, because it's the step where your renders come to life, and take on that photoreal look we all shoot for. It's really the secret sauce. We’ll learn how to make imperfections, capture them, process them and implement our imperfection in your 3D program of choice.
