Reality 3 has full access to procedural textures and I just added texture math for both grayscale and color textures. For example, you can mix (multiply) a light blue with a texture, and the subtract a shade of red from the mix. The effects are crazy good and they open the door to adding supports for complex shaders. 

Of course this is all done Reality style: point-and-click simple and with a gorgeous preview.

So first you tell us it's going to be a while, then you go ahead and tell us how awesome it's going to be.  That's cruel torture.
