I concur.

Yes! And if the alternative texture could also source from different shadermaps (having a normalmap with cracks for example) that would be great. I'd be content if this could be done via script as it was in FPSC.

...having it disappear comes to mind! But I'm with ya! I'd also like to add that being able to script in multiple alternative textures would benefit the 3rd person system. Having the character show worsening damage in a shooter or having his cloth increasingly covered in blood in a slasher!! Good stuff that resonates well with the player.
