Since the first one looked so little like bronze with corrosion, I tried 
  more of a stone with mold look for the second one.

I'm applying the image with Rune's illusion.inc - I only started using 
that a week or so ago, and there's so much that you can do with it! I 
tried to do the mapping myself, but failed badly - luckily there are 
plenty of people out there who are much better with maths than me...

Hmmm, just had a thought - I wonder if you can do this trick in a single 
pass using the camera_view pigment in Megapov? Divide the universe into 
the same scene twice, one with AO and one with final lighting, then 
camera_view + illusion.inc's maths to pull the AO data into a 
pigment_pattern? Sounds both doable, and far trickier than I could 
possibly pull off. :-)

I downloaded Blender the other day. I'm frankly a little lost in it - I 
need to find some good tutorials or similar...

Thank-you very much!

I'm still trying to get my head around your proximity and related SSS 
macros. Applying the AO image works nicely for some scenes, but your 
proximity macro is a global solution, and not just a camera specific one.
