Bertrand posted a cool how-to article about the process of creating a 2d displacement texture map, including a reflection / glossiness map too.

As i mentioned in bertrand’s blog, this CG technique can be improved by using the multi-texture maps script from http://www.cg-source.com to map the reflection diffuse texture onto the 3d model itself instead of painting it later in a 2d application.
Thanks for plugging this, Ronen. And thanks, too, for the suggestion.
