Yo there's like... literally a sharpen filter run over these textures

Thew
@AmazingThew

Also the texture resolution is kinda low-ish but there's a straight-up noise texture blended over top of everything to suggest higher-frequency detail and it... actually works pretty well?

@AmazingThew

I mean detail textures have been around forever obviously but I've never seen it be just plain noise before. Ends up just looking like film/print grain

@AmazingThew

Better shot of the grain texture

Also speculars baked into the lightmap, oddly
