What this is

Physics-driven shading preview. The field is solved exactly from a magnetic surface-charge model; the finish is then inferred from it. There is no particle dynamics and no fluid model, and the top coat is a simple analytic gloss rather than a photoreal render. This predicts where the pile points, not how the polish flows.
