Perhaps it could be a little faster, but in general, it's a fine speed. I would like to know about using normal maps, bump maps, spec maps, and the actual texture all mixed together to create stunning results. Maybe it is a simple process, but for me I haven't succeeded. @Jonathan Williamson: I kindly request a video tutorial on making and combining multiple maps with a texture (using Blender for the 3D app where you combine the maps and texture.) This would be very beneficial to me: to be able to create my own normal, spec, and bump maps and combine them with a texture in Blender. Please consider producing a tutorial on these lines, it would be greatly appreciated (by me.) :) God bless, -b Great, thanks. Perhaps it could be a little faster, but in general, it's a fine speed.

Turn nodes back on and add a texture node (which now has the image as an option) and a geometry node. UV from the geometry goes into vector on the texture node.

However, using the method from the tutorial you have complete control over EACH of the materials, so they may be completely different from one another in every aspect. Using the splat method you're restricted to only changing the texture settings. @DiThi, you're correct, this is an even easier way.

Definitely gives a slight advantage over painting each texture in. Just another great tool to add to my arsenal! Woot! I like it, I especially like it for the terrain idea.
