I am trying to find a way to do this.

My personal preference is: A,B,A,A,B,A
The rule here is: scaling ALWAYS affects depth.
I have found a way to implement this.

My close second choice is: B,B,B,B,B,B
The rule here is: scaling NEVER affects depth.
I have not yet found a way to implement this perfectly, but I'm looking.

My third choice is: A,B,A,B,B,B
The rule here is: scaling the object ALWAYS affects depth
and scaling the normal NEVER affects depth.
This could be quite difficult to implement.  Please don't say you want it to
act this way.

What does the official version do?
Patterns such as waves/bumps: B,B,B,B,B,B
Patterns such as waves/bumps within normal_map: B,B,B,B,B,B
Patterns such as granite/bozo: B,B,B,B,B,B
Patterns such as granite/bozo within normal_map: A,A,B,A,A,B

( see a trend?  maybe keeping b,b,b,b,b,b would be good now that I look at
it this way... )
