14:37 youre actually supposed to use distance value. strength does a strange fade with the bump but distance properly effects the bump. using the wrong one can cause shading issues.

theoretically you could do the creases procedurally

[@gelchristop2355]

Simple setup that worked for me: MixRGB (multiply) with voronoi in the fac and musgrave in Color 2, pure white in Color 1. Mix a bunch of these together with different scales and it gets the job done

[@Mautar55]

i was actually expecting that

[@cnickl71]

I did it with a highly detailed and distorted wave texture and color ramp to tone it down. I will have to try Gel's way and see if I like it better.

Instead of searching up the name in the search bar, press the install button above that and navigate to where you saved the zip file, select it and hit install. and boom, once you tick the box on the left of the name you have it installed and you can now use it. hopefully that helps if it was your issue :)

For creating a texture like this you have to use Substance Designer which cost money (Blender Guru tutorials are free).
