After spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to make the material on my stump (which has dozens of nodes) look even remotely like my reference, I decided that is was time to declare this project done. I may revisit it to replace the sky and render with > 5 samples, but I’m exhausted now.

I crated my tree bark with a procedurally generated normals map. I didn’t know what I was doing (you learn about those in the next section) and was just trying to avoid having to create all the geometry.
Same here, it just didn’t work out well…
