I guess BB's post adds up to "deploy the diffuse map and drive roughness, glint, wetness and height with procedural." Is that correct?

Naturally, if indeed Emily-like results in an extreme closeup can be achieved this way, hurrah! To hell with all the double photography and post-production.

Still ... you have to pull out your camera to shoot at least one set of images, right? For the diffuse? How much more work is it to produce the polarized partner shots? {I keep visualizing a purpose-built dual camera to take both shots at the same time}

I have not heard back from Adam at 3d.sk about the feasibility of adding the second shot.
