General purpose shader library

Hi.
I´ve seen inside another post the proposal/iniciative of creating a "general purpose shader library", and the wish of its principal promotor to hear from us what shaders would we like to be included.
I think it would be interesting to start with peoples proposals in a new topic and discuss them all here:

I'd like a general purpose normalmap + specular map shader so you can do bumpy things with masked shinyness.

A reflective water shader

hi

I would love to see the following shaders included:

a grass shader to ger similar results to this:



water shaders-->

calm water shader to get similar results:




ocean water shader (calm)





ocean water shader (open sea)

an interesting link with a fantastic realtime water demo:

Ah yeah I tried that demo a while ago and was impressed. I'd like one decent water demo shader with reflections. Allthough the render to texture stuff in Ofusion is currently Pro version only.

I imagine you can get an aproximation of most water types by adjusting one good shader.

Yes, the dynamic reflection for the water can be used in Pro only, but without the reflections it can be used in any version

The demo is good, but its not shader based only, it needs automatic geometry changed every frame (it can be made with shader model 3 and the geometry shader support)

The sun light in that demo seems to be a good addition for the library

For the grass shader, maybe a more general purpose is a fur shader (the grass can be made with it)

hi

in the showcase there is a post of monster shaders 2.0; few days ago someone posted a .zip with a wide collection of shaders.

Includes grass, ocean water etc... would be fine to give it a try.

Also I forgot that would be very nice to have a parallax mapping shader in the library. This one comes with monster too...

just this.
