Hello,
Everytime I try the "#random(frame)" I always get the safety warning. Is it any dangerous?

*@Huân Lê-Vương* random() is not a function that is in the driver namespace natively. This is the function I added to the namespace for demonstration purposes. That is what the python script in the example file is for.
The script should automatically run, when you load the file, but you might have to allow the source or run it manually. Then you shouldn't get a warning and it should work.
You can also read more about this here: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/animation/drivers/workflow_examples.html#driver-namespace

@Simon Thommes When I exported as .dae I lost all the procedural shading. How do I preserve this on export? Appreciate your guidance on this.

*@srkmail* The shading setup is exclusive to Blender's render engines. Other software has a different internal setup. So if you try to export them to something that is not a .blend file the procedural shaders are not supported.
If you want to export your shaders for other software you have to bake them into maps that are supported by that other software. Baking is going to be the topic of the final chapter.
