Whoa. I go to sleep on a Sunday night and the thread explodes. Gotta rush off to work in a minute. (Actually I'd better start looking for a new job today but that's another story). I'll try to answer a few questions before I go. Mac, The slime renders fast. The camo is a refractive material which means it renders a bit slower. Still, that slime and camo pic I posted probably took less than 5 minutes to render. A lot longer than that to set up, of course, but actual render time isn't bad at all. Treckie, Yep, you can make the concrete less shiny. The easiest way is to darken the input_1 colour in Blender_2. It's very dark grey at the moment. Black should get rid of that wet look. A harder way is to add a new blender and use it to control the highlight colour so the slime still gets white highlights but the concrete gets grey or something. You could even try plugging Blender 2 straight into the highlight colour channel. BTW Input_2 on Math Functions 2 controls the height of the border between the slime and the other material. Increase it to raise the border, decrease it to lower. Input_2 of Math_Functions_3 controls the large scale variation of the border - it's what stops columns from all having the border at the same height. If you look at the very first image I posted with the red and green columns you can see where that node is putting the border and you can see how it corresponds to the slime image. I can see there's a lot of interest in a free stuff pack, so I'll definitely do one. Please be patient with me though. I've got a few other things I've promised I'll do for different people over the next few weeks and I need to get those done first. When I do the free pack, I'll put a bunch of other shaders in it though. Maybe a few little props and scenes too.
