• k3d_brickbump2 - Keep this one with vars for feture expression, dump the other brick shaders and rename this to k3d_brick.
• k3d_brickperturb - Produce No DSO found for external shadeop: "snoise". Easy to fix, but see note above.

Ceramic

Marble

• k3d_bluemarble - Produce a No DSO found for external shadeop: "snoise" message. Easy to fix, it means that it can't find a function or macro called "snoise" (signed noise). But we should really replace all the marble shaders with a single one.

Metal

• k3d_brushedmetal2 - Has weird pin holes in it... Replace this with one single k3d_brushedmetal.
• k3d_brushedmetal3 - Same as above. Replace this with one single k3d_brushedmetal.
