well i didn't find any source but i just messed around with my 3d fractal and came out with something that looks like camouflage, but not marble yet, nevermind, i'll get it eventually. so eventually people should be able to have camouflage on their voxels without having to draw a texture or lay UV coordinates. too bad this feature can't be implemented until i make my program a windows program, right?
