blendmodes

there are 3 blendmodes(0;1;2), but I don't know how to call the third effect. --Pfannkuchen 19:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Description of detail textures

I think the description of the use of these textures should be changed, as they can be used for much more than applying small details. For instance, a full-color texture as the $detail texture, $detailblendmode set to 2 and $detailscale set to 1 can be used to apply a full color texture on top of another. I.E., the turrets from Portal 2. They use this for being covered in paint.
