Thanks @jlampel for coming into the project.
Your input is very valuable. I sensed that there is something off about the painterly style. The beaniness clearly was an issue.
I reworked the texture entirely going for crisp edges this time, adding small veins but leaving the spots for the moment. Since I’m going to play with scales for leaf variation, I want to have consistent spots as in film grain. I have uploaded the texture in 2k and will shrink it to the agreed 1k once they are finally adjusted.
While painting, it turns out that I may have gone a little crazy with the gradients, which need to be toned down in the node setup.
The node setup tones down the heavy gradients of the original texture and provides some spots on the leaves.
I’ll fix the broken UVs over the course of the next days. I’ll also add the twigs that go every which way and add some loop cuts to bend some of the alpha planes. Your input has already been very valuable! Thanks a lot!
