Goldcoin -- interesting examples of a lesser used (at least by me) filter. I've used it to make a flag look like it was blowing in the wind, and followed a tutorial to do that. I've played with the filter a bit, but have loads more to learn about it and when to use it. I'll add the tutorial you linked to my list of goodies to read.
Thanks!

This site has also quite a few hidden actions. If you go to the beginning of his tut..... he has 4 headings, under most of the tut is offered an action.

With Goo and Liquify there is less need for dispmaps now - but sometimes you just can't beat displacement maps. There are many tricks to dispmapping - with some good info to be found in these links:
