Well, this seems to be true.. I tried in 2 ways: To first #declare a texture
with pigment and finish, and put it into each blob component but with
individual normals.. The other way I tried, was to specify only normals for
each blob and put a #default texture above the whole object.. Both ways
create layers of normals, rather than averaging them..
