I want to be able to recreate a small stage/camera setup with Povray.

For some scenes an efficient backdrop may be needed. To that end, I 
could use some pointers on a good starting place.

Test_tile_b.png is a sample of the direction I'll start with.

I'm happy with the square texture so far. I think it will parse/render 
quickly.
#declare Square_pattern_=texture{
  square
   texture {pigment {color rgbft <0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000>}},
   texture {gradient < 1.000, 0.000, 1.000 >
    texture_map {
     [0.000,pigment {color rgbft <1.000,1.000,1.000,0.000,0.000>}]
     [0.500,pigment {color rgbft <1.000,1.000,1.000,0.000,0.000>}]
     [0.500,pigment {color rgbft <0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000>}]
     [1.000,pigment {color rgbft <0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000>}]
    }
    scale <0.150,0.150,0.150>
   },
   texture {pigment {color rgbft <1.000,1.000,1.000,0.000,0.000>}},
   texture {gradient < 1.000, 0.000, 1.000 >
    texture_map {
     [0.000,pigment {color rgbft <1.000,1.000,1.000,0.000,0.000>}]
     [0.500,pigment {color rgbft <1.000,1.000,1.000,0.000,0.000>}]
     [0.500,pigment {color rgbft <0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000>}]
     [1.000,pigment {color rgbft <0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000>}]
    }
    scale <0.150,0.150,0.150>
   }
}

The other I've made stacked box{} statements.

Test_tile_a.png
Witch I hope to use in an pigment{object{}} pattern or
pigment{image_map{function{}}}.

Help needed here :-)
I want a <u,v> map-able texture (material?) for my background.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
