Don't drink and code! Programmers run on caffeine, not alcohol...

See you in Khyberspace!

A few improvements. I'm working on it little by little.

The surface of the liquid isn't flat anymore, but it doesn't make much 
of a difference. A new texture for the desk.

Yes this liquid is much more nuanced and appealing. The scale of the new wood
texture seems too small : it features screws that we would expect to also appear
in a normal bumb, plus not reveal to repeat as much if bigger.

For smoked oak wood, the following page shows low reflectivity but the
interaction with bitmap is hard to assign. Maybe start with a grey material to
get the shininess right...?
