 A minor problem with the normal map -- the bubbles are shaped conically:

 Thanks Craig.

Does anybody has a tip about how to get rid of the f[beep] 'shaped conically'? Smile I mean, a good and easy way.

Btw Vlad, the Result Component or other that has 'Height' would has a 'Height shape' where you would select CONE or SPHERE! Smile Is it possible? Pleasssseee.

 Very nice, I'd just like to note that 'real' bubble wrap is tiled in a hexagonal fashion...

Make something like that and you've got a winner.

I guess its a linear gradient somewhere that creates the conic shapes in your height maps. Use a bias or gamma curve instead. Ideally, the profile of this curve should be a quarter circle. This way, you would get a perfect hemisphere in the height map.

That's a plot now! Smile Hey Uber, that's the way it was, wasn't it? What way was it, oval or I'm missing something? Smile Thanks for the link. Wink

Thanks for the tip Crapa, I've tried the Contrast+Bias, but It still doesn't work very good. Well, I've changed the structure and created new controls:

Now, you can use it as texture or as effect over your image. You can control the bubble wrap color, increase or decrease the number of bubbles, change its state and bubble wrap side.

In sum, I'm sending an update of my Bubbles Wrap (texture) and the version for effect. So, stay tuned in folks! Smile
