Ah - seee you learn something new every day - my experiment has been based on throwing together a lot of ideas from various tutorials. I will move my nodes around and see what happens. Now the next problem I have with this idea is the sharp edges that one gets on areas such as nipples. What's the trick to this? From my experience aureole are never perfectly symmetrical, surely there is some way to reproduce this effect.

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
