Because the render is designed for architectural visualization, you will render the objects as if the surfaces are pristine and clean. Hence, it's not necessary to introduce surface wear or variation. (In contrast, the Project 3 ambulance was given a heavy dose of rust and dirt.) As such, similar surfaces should appear identical. For example, each pillar should appear as if it was constructed and painted in the same manner. Ultimately, this allows you to assign ...
