I'm thinking about writing a genetic algorithm shader generator.

Instead of me trying to guess what will look right, I'll let some parametric "DNA" generate many variations on a shader.

Then I will act as the "environment" and apply "selection pressure" to winnow out the bad ones.

Then run it again.

Maybe after a few days I will find the perfect pearl shader in the pile.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
