I have each part as a separate object (eg. skin, jacket, etc)
At the moment my macro works by assigning a colour to each object and a  
paint method. The paint methods are basically colour variance (adding some  
randomness to each blob) and Cyan Magenta Yellow Black seperation with  
some randomness. I am still improving on it.

The paint is not a texture, it is colored blobs traced onto the model,  
which allows me more control.

I am also working on a system that will turn a whole scene into paint. I  
will first need to work out how to trace a pigment from a scene. I plan on  
doing this by using a height field for Red Green and Blue seperately  
together with trace.
