In this 6-part series, Ganz breaks down one of the most insidious killers of believability: sameness, the copy-paste effect that quietly undermines even the most photoreal renders.
From the size of bananas to the way decals distort over curved surfaces, each post takes a surgical look at where sameness creeps in, and how to fight back with craft, curiosity, and technical precision.
