This pack of shaders allows use of noise functions to generate patterns of bump, color, and more. Usable at close range and distant without tiling problems, can be combined with existing shaders to add a little fine detail or unusual effects. WTP shaders can be layered, adding dirt and dust, or snow caps, or simply layer after layer of color variation.
These shaders cover as much as three or four commercial shader packs, plus can be adapted to wildly new variations.
Please consider donating some fraction of what this would have cost you if it was sold commercially; there are a lot of other shader possibilities I have in mind, like different noise functions, 3DL shaders, and more.

I will be adding to it over time; please let me know if there are any nonobvious points you'd like to see addressed.
Note: 'non-commercial use only' -- you have the right to generate artwork for sale, just not the right to sell these shaders yourself. « Less
Features:
Procedural Perlin Displacement, so you can create complex shapes.
Worley noise, which creates all sorts of interesting more coherent patterns than Perlin.
Tiles/bricks, so you can easily fill in detail on various objects.
It's exciting stuff, can't wait to wrap it up.
Even if you ultimately decide to do it differently, it's worth trying first.
Thank you, Drtwitch!
As for settings and bolts...
One thing that's useful is going into various patterns and checking what thresholds/settings they use. So if you, say, want star-like pinholes as more …
One thing I was hoping to find documentation on are some of the procedural settings you use. I am experimenting but that is tedious and the google searches on iray and "base color tiling" are not giving me anything useful.
