Well, so it might be just me.
Sometimes (as in this case) I see the "warped" textures and think they
are too obvious. It might just be the wiring of pattern recognition
within my brain ;)
It also happened to me e.g. with the asphalt seen in the "Dodge in the
parking-lot image". I did find it so distracting there that I did
quickly trace() a few 10000 tiny stones on the ground to hide it...

Thanks!

Hmmm... after looking at hundreds of pictures of old billiard balls, I
think they can be even more pronounced. I think it is the shape what is
wrong: I used an image which contains scratches on a flat surface, and
on a spherical surface they tend to be more circular...

Yes, thanks for the reminder... it's done now (not very good, but
acceptable, I guess).

Yes, may be. But I think you argue about 4 pixels within the whole picture.
Best regards,

Awesome. The slight reflections on the cue and triangle really improve it, and
the highlights on the balls are better too. :D
