I managed to create a procedural version that has the black grout lines
between the tiles. The "scale 1.0472" was determined by trial and error,
looking at a region 5000 units away from the origin to magnify the
discrepancies. I guess that 1.0472 should really be some expression
containing things like pi and sin(pi/3), but I can't work it out.

The source (with the "1.0472" to which I was referring) looks like this:

#version 3.6;
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.0}
camera {location  <0,20,-30> look_at <0,0,0> angle 40}
background {rgb 1}
light_source {<-30, 100, -30> color rgb 1}
// ----------------------------------------

#include "colors.inc"
#include "stones.inc"
#include "functions.inc"

#declare T1 = texture {T_Stone20 scale 5} // Texture for hexagons
#declare T2 = texture {T_Stone17 scale 2} // texture for triangle centre
#declare T3 = texture {pigment {rgb 0}}   // texture for grout

// combined triangle and grout
#declare T4 =   texture {function {f_hex_y(x,z,y,0)}
  texture_map {[0.03 T3][0.03 T2]}
  rotate y*30
  scale 1.0472
}

#declare S=sin(pi*1/3);
#declare C=cos(pi*1/3);

plane {y,0
  texture {function {(sin(x-pi/2) * sin(x*C+z*S) * sin(x*C-z*S))/2}
    texture_map { [0.5 T1][0.5 T4] }
  }
}

I haven't sat and pondered your geometry, but it's probably worth noting
that pi/3 = 1.04719755.   :)

Wow! Once again I am amazed what those of you with experience can do to an
image. The tiles look amazing, much better than mine, and the source is
much easier. Thanks for making the image, it helped me learn a new
technique.

I also managed to create a version with grout, and I found a cute way to get
a nice curved normal by using the negative reciprocal of your function.

I'll post the results tonight, if I get time.

These stones.inc textures look pretty, but they aren't much good for anims,
since they contain crand. :(
