The holiday season is a wild time. Imagine spending days battling to finalize the last features. You’re feeling doubly satisfied because you managed to finish just in time for your long-awaited trip to the mountains. With a big grin on your face, you wander through forests, meadows, and bushes.

It’s on the edge of a plot, by some fence, in the middle of nowhere... And you immediately know you have to add this as a preset. This is what’s been missing from Outside the Block. You quickly snap pictures and start brainstorming. The rest of the trip is ruined. All you can think about is the clay, the round stones, and the tangled tufts of thin green grass.

You keep scrolling through the photos, searching for every detail.

Then, you sit down and cry because it doesn’t look right. The grass is too thick, the soil’s color is off. You’re down for two days, even though this wasn’t something you needed to do at all.

A few days later, you’re exhausted, yet it finally works—just in time for your next trip. Now, though, you realize that trip won’t bring you joy either, as you’ll inevitably spot something new you’ll want to turn into a preset.
