I watched it all the way through too. Some helpful points you make. I understand the need to adjust the scale and the problem with having it set to parametric, but wouldnt  setting it to object-standard  be OK too? If you chose 'world', wouldnt the details of the texture will change when you move the object ?

"I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence."
Man Ray, modernist painter
