1) Try the "FX" showcase example (under basic3d) - that has some really good metallicly effects
2) I think pixel shaders for morrowind water, etc weren't just plug-n-play routines. I don't think it woeuld be possible to download a file, load it and tada! realistic water. You could ask Raven about this, he seems to know alot about this kind of thing.
3) If you look in the U5 example (under basic3d examples) that has a very good cel shading pixel shader there:
rem Create an object with an effect (one command)
make object sphere 1,100,29,28
set effect on 1,"cartoon.fx",1
And the cartoon.fx file:
//
// FX Effect file - Cartoon
//
// Constants
matrix wvp : WorldViewProjection;
matrix world : World;
matrix worldIT : WorldIT;
float4 eyePos : EyePosition;
float4 lhtDir < string UIDirectional = "Light Direction"; >;
// Model and Texture Names
string XFile = "default.x";
texture toonshade < string name = "shade.bmp"; >;
texture toonedge < string name = "edge.dds"; >;
