Thank you indeed Kevin! Glad you recognized the scene, although this image 
is not intended of course as a Tarkovski reminder. I just borrowed the key 
element for my own purposes. There are still some other locations in Stalker 
which I would like to "borrow".

Yes, the wet feel is difficult. I tried to get that by making part of the 
wall and objects texture reflective in Rune's Patina macro, but it is rather 
difficult to control correctly. Water should be running also down the walls, 
dropping from the cable or the ceiling (only from the stalactites now). So 
this particular scene here is from a fairly dry season, which explains why 
Cathy is able to explore :-)
