Yes, I remember that scene.
It's amazing how one can completely transform the feel and perceived complexity
of an object with the proper texture.
Thanks for posting that as a reminder and providing the texture.

Is that an HDRI light probe you're using?  Radiosity?

Droj just posted his version, and with just a black background, it looked ---
like poop.

But then I just pasted in the simple ground & sky code, and it magically
transformed the exact same texture into beautiful shimmering bubbles!
It truly is an amazing transformation.

I'm betting that if I take your beautiful texture and render with a poor
environment, I would make that look like oil on mud too. The environment is what
gives it life.
