Chromium Electroplating Technique by SpaceRay

I was walking on the street and I have past a jewelry shop that among many other things they make this kind of chrome plating on things you bring to them, and they have many beautiful examples, and then I wanted to make this in Filter Forge, and there are some available filters but do not get it right, with this one is not perfect, but I like the results and the lighting control gives more realism from my point of view

Although I think that this can be made even better and will see how this could be optimized

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MAC COMPUTERS USERS:

This filter includes a map script component using LUA, and I know that frequently (or mostly always) this kind of LUA scripts have problems and gives errors on Mac computers.

This is not an error from this filter, is from the Filter Forge software, and you must wait until FF Inc. can fix it sometime in the future.

I am sorry that I do not know how to make this filter without the LUA script, if anyone knows how to do it, is free to modify and make it and share it here.

lol one of these days they'll fix it.

I've been planning to upload the workaround versions but I never seem to get the chance. It's what I've been doing with the snow filter you uploaded sometime ago. I just wanted to find a nice way without using LUA. So far ThreeDee's method with the smudge component does a pretty nice job, but I wanted something more solid as the one seen with Hard Shadows script.
