Would it make any sense to allow multiple textures to be specified on an
object, where the texture selected is a function of the distance of the
surface to the camera? Similar to MIP mapping on scanline renderers -- so
that my gorgeous wood floor texture (yeah right!) can switch to a plain
brown pigment with no normals when it is far from the camera.
