"it's strange how the texture on the figure changes with changing the attribute of the figure to positive or neutral." I hadn't actually noticed that, but will stick my neck out and give a tentative theory: If object neutral, then nothing else affects it, so normal texture. If object pos/neg etc, then maybe Bryce expects it to be booleaned(?), and reduces the texture accordingly (in order to decrease computation time or something). Dunno - just guessing..
