Thanks for your reply. In deed this could be extended for my purposes but
as i mentionen above this gets very ugly when you have more than two
different finish items you'd like to change. I'll post an extended version
with source in the thread with your image. As you may see there you need 15
definitions to create a texture with three finish items following different
patterns (specular map, reflection map and ambient map in that case). With
four items you should need 31 definitions, with five items you'll need 63
and so on. obviously this renders quite slow especially when pigment
functions from image maps are being used as patterns.
