Download: Displacement Maps for Adobe Photoshop, Series 2 By Dave Nagel
Displacement maps can be used in Adobe Photoshop to add both depth and texture to an image.

MAXON PRESETS 011 By Emerson Velazquez
Sometimes the best way to learn something is to deconstruct a completed project. In this series of presets, a team of DMN readers got together to make some CINEMA4D textures. While the materials are mostly based on simple parameters, it may help you to understand how a texture is made. This week I've put together a tutorial on creating a simple texture that I've added to Emerson's BEACH materials. Download the materials here, then check out the tutorial to make your own.

That said, it can be a tough call to make when all that meets the eye are sleek screens and vibrant pictures - are Plasmas and LCDs really that different?
