it is when you use 2 textures and a map so that one texture could be seen coming through the other in some spots...

well.. I read it in a really cool tutorial from thomaskrahn

here's the link with an example..

that looks like a useful effect. I'm pretty sure there is a way to do this using an alpha channel, in the same way that people get an altitude blend between materials on a terrain. I'll check but somebody else will know how to do it

I believe this could be done in Bryce by duplication of the obj parts that you want to apply this to and making 2 sets of tex maps then use the transparency maps to balance between them.

Yes it can be done with an ABC blend. In the diffuse color section of the material lab (and probably in the ambience too depending on how you want it to look) place a marble in channels A, B, and C. In the A channel put the texture you want the overall wall to be, B channel will be the brick texture and C channel will only use the alpha part of the texture. Where the aplha is white channel A will show, where it's black B will show, gray will be a mix.

Oh and you'll probably want marbles in the bump values too (AB&C). If you need a screenshot of the material lab let me know.
