Cycles Material Nodes #1

.start

Before proceeding with more OSL shader writing, I decided to tackle existing Cycles Nodes and understand their capabilities. By doing so, I should be in a better position to write shaders.

First Test

In this experiment I used a Mix Closure for creating Surface Material. Using the brick texture as a base, I created multi-colored bricks by using ColorRamp nodes and Noise texture.

 I still need to improve this setup.

Second Test

 In this experiment I have used a Add Closure to create a emitting material on a mesh.
