Which is indeed very nice.  :)

Yes, I would say that probably the real test would be something like a
transparent piece of plastic or a dark plastic/glass, where there are in reality
a lot of scratches, but optically, only a few of these are ever really visible
at any given time - depending on the viewing angle.

So, sparser, finer scratches, and perhaps an animation where the object is
rotated a bit to see how a changing incident light angle affects the look.


Still, this has developed to a usable form for a lot of scenes in a very short
time.   Great work!   :)
