It's improved only in the small sharp dented marks to me, but from afar I still
prefer the setting of your turbulence, making it look more like it has been
somewhat applied, or polished, looks more like it has a history of being
crafted, yet, combining the two would be perfect both for distant and close ups!
I hop I will be able to get a hand on the final code version so that if you guys
agree, I can share it here:

Along the other great POV textures?
