Stimuli, yeah I tried that but it didn't work to well first time.

bill, before we go on to the full tut, let me try to make some observations.

1.  Mine needs reflections, because if it reflects lights, it should be reflecting in information (color) in the lights as well.

2.  Needs a better way of making it bump/displacement.  Like the one ockham suggested.

3.  It needs the light band in the middle where the donut floats where you cook it.

Am I missing anything else important?

WARK!
