I agree...this looks like it may be a very useful effect. Maybe I should 
revive my blurred pattern patch...I'll have more time to do that after

(Didn't someone else also do a blurred pattern patch?)

Not really, though it can resemble it in shape. The proximity pattern 
was based on distance to the surface. This is based on the proportion of 
nearby space taken up by the volume of the object. It is basically a 
blurred object pattern.
