 Ah, this is what I was looking for. Amazingly, I came very close to
figuring this out through trial (and trial and trial...) and error.

 I think it was probably better if you *didn't* tell me how to do
it - I have other things I'm *supposed* to be doing!  :-)

 Anyone noticed that the brick texture looks inside out?  I was 
wondering if maybe I'm looking at the wrong side of the polygon??
The brick does look nice on a plane facing the camera, but on one
that's diagonal, it doesn't seem to draw individual bricks - just
rows.
