It's wizard SSS orange juice, so I think it's just the glow-y backside of the liquid.

I've been calling it orange juice but it's actually honey.

Beware those wizard wizard presets...

Maybe the V3 wizards will conjure correctly?

Do you think this is suitable? Or is it not 'tutorial-like' enough?

Works for me

very useful. I would even like to download that, is it possible?

I think there needs to be a short part 2 that describes in detail an example of a Maxwell material created with those maps.

very good.

I would like to postulate this problem; how to extract the direction of wood grain from a texture?

The 'swirlz' filter can create contours from gradients, but I want to know if a filter exists that can do the reverse... generate a gradient type angle map based on the direction of contours (the wood grain)

My lame workaround is to create a bump map of grooves from the wood-grain and reflect a 'circular angle map gradient sky', its tricky to dial-in the bump height and lacks resolution..... its so lame that its better to fake the effect with fairly random wavy angle map.

But I really want to make a perfect wood mxm...

and to be able to make angle maps in general.
