Thank you for all of the detailed "how to" steps.
However, three things Part 2 taught me:
1. An awesome amount of effort and talent needed
2. One also needs to be highly proficient in Photoshop.
3. I'm not likely to be creating any sophisticated materials any time soon

Thank you for these tutorials! I finally had a chance to sit down and watch all 5, including anisotropy, et al, and they clarified a number of fine point issues for me. Well done, Patrick! Now, I am off to play in the material lab some more.
