Blendshape with textures?

[icenwind]

I was curious on how to take a sphere with one texture, say a checker, and do a blendshape with the ball squashing with say, a marble texture.
so, my question is
HOW do you MORPH an object with changing textures without having to do it in another program?
Thank you

But it was more than likely me.
I can;t remmebr the options or nodes i was using , this was Maya 2.0, and I felt it was mroe work than it was worth

well I just tried this with a layered shader and a sphere with blendshapes. Just connect the blendshape to the transparency of the texture. It works with the blendcolor utility too. connect the blendshape to the blender
