you can texture each matrix tile with a different texture
it shouldn't be too difficult to search that in the index (just search for 'tile' and you will find the command I think)

you'll need these two commands (after u used a load image command)

PREPARE MATRIX TEXTURE
This command will select an image of tiled textures that the matrix will eventually use. Each grid square in the matrix can have a tile texture, located within the image. Individual tile textures can be obtained from the single image by slicing it into sections both across and down. The tile textures are then assigned a number starting in the top left corner of the sectioned image and working across, then down. To section an image into 4 smaller tile textures you would specify 2 across and 2 down.

Textures need to be of a particular size. The maximum image size you can use as a texture is 256x256. All images are ideally square and are divisible by 2. So texture sizes of 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 and 128x128 are the standard dimensions to use. The parameters should be integer values.

SYNTAX
PREPARE MATRIX TEXTURE Matrix Number, Image Value, Across, Down




SET MATRIX TILE
This command will texture an individual grid square with an image specified by the tile number. Only if the matrix has been prepared with a texture will this command work. The tile number equates to a portion of graphic within the sectioned image you used to prepare the matrix texture. If you had prepared a matrix texture with four segmented images, you would reference these images as tile numbers from 1 to 4. The parameters should be integer values.

SYNTAX
SET MATRIX TILE Matrix Number, X, Z, Tile Number
