Textures aren't being merged, more along putting them in a hierarchy from what I'm understanding. The Noise texture will have several modes, instead of several separate textures.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 4:44 PM, Michael Fox <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mfoxdogg@gmail.com">mfoxdogg@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I do agree with changing clouds to noise and noise to random, blender is<br>
the only app i have used that useas clouds and noise differently. but i<br>
certainly do NOT agree with merging textures, each have their purposes<br>
and ways of handling them, to me the more the merrier as with texturing<br>
you need as much fine control as possible and putting all textures into<br>
a blob is an all your eggs in one basket affair<br>
