|  |  | Is there a way to blend textures, as in texture_map, but using angle of 
normal as a pattern? 
So that "walls" - surfaces like :
 |
 | plane { x,0 }  or plane { z,0 }
 |
 |
will have texture A, and flat surfaces like 
-----  plane { y,0 }
would have texture B, and
plane { y,0 rotate x*45 /* or z*45 */ }  will be 50% A and 50% B
I want to use it for rusty ship - so that deck floor would have quite 
normal surface, and all walls will have "water steams" / rust (like this 
marks under windows, etc)

So its something between MlPov's, and 3.6 faced normal pattern.
It would be excelent to have possibility of using:
pigment {
  function { normal.z }
}
where normal is normal vector of given surface in currently evaluated 
point. Or is something like this already available?

Slope pattern can help you

Yeap, it did, thanx.
Btw - isn't there any way to use it in a function? 
Like:
pigment {
  function {
    f_slope.x + x*2 + f_bozo(x,y,z)
  }
}
