I've created a collection of node groups that serve a variety of functions in helping me build materials at a faster pace.
Using node groups in your own files:
Either copy and paste the sphere object from the NodeTools.blend file into your own scene (this will transfer the object and material containing all of the nodes), or go to File -> Append, choose the NodeTools.blend file, ...

Ok bear with me on this one. We spend so much time trying to reduce render noise but sometimes it feels appropriate to add some grain on top of a finished render for artistic effect. So here's a blend file that exploits Cycles' difficulty with sampling volumes to create grain textures which you can then export and use in any image editing software you like.
I've also attached some pre-ren...
