What I am saying is I don't have to look at the code to understand
how to use a pattern. I know how to use the granite pattern with
complete confidence yet I know absolutely nothing about noise
functions. I don't need to. Additionally a hard coded pattern
can be used with ease not only in pigments but also normals,
texture maps, and pigment maps. The use of a macro complicates
this process. Can you define a normal pattern with a macro ?
I don't recall that being possible. Even if it is possible is
it as easy as it is with a built in pattern ?
