That post_process actually originated from one of my attempts at this, I 
never got it to work right though. My patch blurred patterns only(not 
pigments) and allowed a 3D matrix to be used. I will probably make 
another attempt, and maybe make another type specifically for 
pigments...blurring the pattern isn't always enough(image_map, block 
patterns, etc).
