Actually, I doubt it would be very useful for blobs...at least, not when 
using the same blob components as the blob object. The current texture 
blending works just as well, and you would have to go to special effort 
to make sure the pattern lined up properly.

I posted a couple media "fire worm" images here when I was developing 
it, you might look at those. Another thing it is useful for is as an 
isosurface pigment function, which is especially interesting when used 
with turbulence.
