Click Active Shade on the main toolbar, and at first, it's pretty disappointing, you don't see anything here. Well, there's a bit of an issue with the Gobo Filter, and that is the density. I've got it up at its maximum of one, and for whatever reason, that's not working. We're not seeing what we expect here, which is the full intensity of that map. But, strangely, if I bring the density down to .99, suddenly everything is working. Okay, so we do have a Noise applied on here, but it's difficult to see, so let's change that up. We'll set the amplitude of the Noise to a value of three, making it three times stronger, and then we need to change the scale. We need to make this map very large relative…
