Hi Thomas,

probably you overcame the texture fit problem.
If not I can recommend proximity pattern by using an ambient occlusion render
together with the usage of Rune's illusion code. This method is fast and very
precise for small details.

Here is an example when testing some metal materials (no copper corrosion, but
perhaps partly cleaned small copper figures?).
