    Hey @vexoul , sounds like a great experiment! You’re welcome to do that as well if you’d like, but the diffuse does need to be painted by hand. Normal / bump maps can sometimes be used to hide flaws in the painted texture, so just be extra sure you’re not using it as a crutch. Looking forward to seeing your result!
