That's why I mentioned the cylindrical warp.

There's nothing stopping you from using the hexagon pattern with 
textures; quote from the docs:

   texture {
     hexagon
     texture { T_Gold_3A },
     texture { T_Wood_3A },
     texture { Stone12 }
     }

As for using two textures, that won't fly: To color a hexagonal tiling 
in such a way that no two adjacent hexagons have the same color, you 
need at least 3 colors.

Have a look at the new "tiling" pattern.
