I'll make it available soon..... but you'll need mlPOV to use it. I 
still need to make the effect fall off more realistically. The pattern 
is only like a 'thick' diffuse which penetrates the surface of the object.

I overplayed it on purpose. By overusing it, I hope to figure how it 
might be used in more appropriate levels. The effect is still a work in 
progress, and it will be until I can work out the many, many bugs.
