i have to second that. i dropped a question about exactly that some
month back and ended up with changing quite a bunch of materials,
because i coulndt overide a non existing shader.
i dont know how it would be possible in this special clip map case, but
i like the way soft is going with the rendertree/TLE. its just another
interface doing the same thing at the end. and even if i never used
the tle(i LOVE nodes) i see that ppl would prefere it.
