Wow - rainstreet is that FF only?

Here is a breakdown. The heightmap also doubles as a roughness map for the reflection.

How did you do this? Is it all FF and is this filter available?
Simply incredible! I could do that reflective thing only by using the Flood plugin from Flaming Pear

Thanks for your comments.

For the reflective stuff, the upper half is flipped vertically and offset using surface normals (derivatives) + noise. The offset amount is defined by a distance gradient multiplied by the heightmap. Where the angle of incidence is too steep, the reflection is multiplied by a mask (threshold from y-normals). The offset is done in a loop to help with aliasing.

Rainstreet is pretty much the same thing, but the reflecting surface is also displaced using smudge. The "environment" is just a bunch of cells and blocks noise to give an impression of lights and some structures.

I'm hoping to release the lens blur filter at some point, but there are still problems to be solved. Haven't figured out how to make it to work procedurally with an arbitrary aperture shape. If anyone has an efficient way to define an area of sample coordinates within a square and then fill that square evenly with those coordinates - let me know.

Here is the postpainter filter.

looks great btw!

I will break the normal square format here and go wide with this one
