Visual option for showing the weathering of materials and objects over time. Merged

It would be helpful to see the effects on materials and objects including assets when exposed to certain atmospheric/weather conditions over time. The settings could allow for different intensities of types of weather conditions over a variable period of time to give an accurate depiction of how a building or landscape would look after it had been in place for a set number of years and exposed to certain weather conditions. The variances could be applied and embedded within set 'smart' materials and objects which have been modified to allow for these settings.
