Materials and shaders
Unfortunately, this overlaps with fractal geometry algorithms, etc, as materials may imply form, such as is the case with rock crystals, or plant material for that matter. For many rock types, we'll need sub-surface scattering, btw. Fortunately, we could do the "form" part of a material in the vertex shader...

Got code that's not suitable for comitting but which you'll need to reference later, or fear you might not find it when you need it? Just throw it on The Shelf.
