Cellular maps create the goblet textures.
The Cellular procedural map generates a pattern
that’s useful for a variety of visual effects, including
mosaic tiling, pebbled surfaces, and even ocean
surfaces.
Tip: TheMaterialEditorsampleslotdoesn’tshow
the cellular effect very clearly. For a better visual
aid to getting the effect you want, assign the m ap
to geometry and render the scene.
