Hello!

I am looking for a number of texture functions that produce
surfaces with a natural look (perhaps with a slightly `random'
touch), such as waves or irregularly textured grass, marble,
material etc. Any source code/mathematical functions/bibliography
appreciated!

In addition I need the surface coefficients for a number of
materials such as glass, water, copper, silver, steel etc.
I am using the Phong shading model with ambient, diffuse and
specular reflection, specular power and transmission with
refraction index. Any data/bibliography appreciated.

Thanks very much.
