IMPERFECTION + IMAGER: Full Tutorial (Blender)

Here's the full tutorial video for the IMPERFECTION + IMAGER procedural node pack in Blender.

IMPERFECTION + IMAGER make a whole new procedural workflow possible, minimizing the need for UV mapping, detail painting, and multiple texture maps. Take any image and turn it into a full photorealistic material within minutes without breaking your scene creation workflow.
