oil slick preset

[yourlocalcrow]

I really went wild on this one. The coding is really messy, but it gets the job done and it looks cool, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YOU WANT SOME ACTION SHOTS?

I've only got those two. Sorry to dissapoint.

I've already uploaded her to the preset sync, but in case you don't have it, here's a download.

Features:
Oil slick effect with env_map spherical
Glowing eyes
Colored outline
Everything is on a different layer. Everything

A little background on how I did it. I actually wanted the outline part to have that "oil slick" effect, but couldn't figure it out, so instead I did it with the preset itself. Took some trial and error (using images of actual oil slicks as the env_map spherical overlay, using a gradient, what opacity to put it at, etc) but I got it where I liked it. Then I slapped some markings and a texture on top. At that point i had 3 passes, and then the outline made 4. When i say that code's messy, it's messy.

As always, if you'd like to see the code I used, shoot me a pm and i'll happily send it to you!

This is amazing! I'm honestly blown away by how perfectly it resembles an oil slick!
