Beautiful. This is just what I was thinking of. Are you willing to share these,
or just the colour data? :) How many metals have you created like this?

Yeah, sounds good. Doesn't really matter, as long as they look good most of the
time, users can tweak easily enough.

consistent and believable. Great work!
