Download: Procedural Greenstone Material for Cycles
A nice Jade material for Cycles by BlenderMagic.
BlenderMagic writes:This was something I have been working on as a way to explore the possibilities of procedural textures in Cycles. This is all 100% procedural, so no external images were used as part of this Material.
I went through many tests before I reached a result I was happy with. Because it is a procedural Material, you can adjust it as you like.

Splendid!:)
Something needs to be discussed about Blendswap. I don’t know where is a better place to raise it, so I’ll raise it here.
They have a peculiar attitude to what they call “fan art”. For example, look for any Lego-themed item, and you will see, when you try to download it, that they impose an extra condition on you that you will not use the item for any kind of commercial purpose. There are two problems with this:
* Some of the items are licensed CC-BY-SA. By trying to impose additional restrictions, they are contravening the SA part of the licence.
* They themselves are a commercial operation, making money off premium members who might be downloading these and other items. So they are trying to prohibit others from doing what they do themselves.
What do others think?
