 * are preserved, but all of them lie flat in a plane. These points can then be projected onto
 * the brush faceplane and this way the texture coordinates can be easily calculated via the
 * world-to-texture-space transformations (the matrix is retrieved from the TexDef class).
 *
 * The main problem that has to be tackled is not the "natural" texturing itself (the method
 * "natural" already takes care of that), but the goal that the patch/brush texture transition
 * is seamless.
 *
 * The starting point of the "flattening" is the nearest control vertex of the patch (the closest
 * patch vertex to any of the brush winding vertices. Once this point has been found, the patch is
 * systematically flattened into a "virtual" patch plane. From there the points are projected into
 * the texture space and you're already there.
 *
 * Note: This took me quite a bit and it's entirely possible that there is a more clever solution
 * to this, but for this weekend I'm done with this (and it works ;)).
 *
 * Note: The angle between patch and brush can also be 90 degrees, the algorithm catches this case
 * and calculates its own virtual patch directions.
