I like to use the crackle pattern for creating stone pavers for floors, rough
stone walls, etc. I use the pattern to outline the stones in an isosurface, and
then apply a texture on it.
This all works well if I want the stones to be of a uniform type, but I haven't
found an effective way to do this when I want some variations in the types of
stones. I do something similar with brick walls and floors, but since bricks
have a regular shape, I can use warp repeats to ensure that individual bricks
have a consistent texture, but are randomized between bricks.
Has anyone come up with a trick to do something similar with irregular patterns
like crackle? I usually end up using some sort of random pigment pattern with
the different textures I want to apply, (see the image below), and then
scale/rotate/translate it to match the stones as best I can, but there is always
bleeding between them.

Try using the same crackle, but the with solid modifier as the pigment.
Use a colour_map containing various orientations of a collection of
patterns.
That way, you'll have a texture with a pattern matching that of the
isosurface.

That's brilliant! I don't know how I missed that in the documentation, (or
maybe I just never understood what it was trying to say).
What controls the pigment value selected for the cell? Is it just a random
number, or do proximate cells select from the same value range. I'm finding the
more variation with smaller ranges in my pigment_map, the less "clumpy" the
cells become, but does it follow the normal ramp_wave or is it just a linear
random number?

From source/core/material/pattern.cpp
There's a few extra pre-main-pattern sections, and I've always wanted to
translate the source code algorithm into SDL so that people could vary the field
of random points, or otherwise modify the pattern to suit their needs.

* FUNCTION
*
* crackle_pattern
*
* INPUT
*
* EPoint -- The point in 3d space at which the pattern
* is evaluated.
* OUTPUT
*
* RETURNS
*
* DBL value in the range 0.0 to 1.0

*
* DESCRIPTION
*
* "crackle":
*
* New colour function by Jim McElhiney,
* CompuServe 71201,1326, aka mce### [at] acmorg
*
* Large scale, without turbulence, makes a pretty good stone wall.
* Small scale, without turbulence, makes a pretty good crackle ceramic glaze.
* Highly turbulent (with moderate displacement) makes a good marble, solving
* the problem of apparent parallel layers in Perlin's method.
* 2 octaves of full-displacement turbulence make a great "drizzled paint"
* pattern, like a 1950's counter top.
* Rule of thumb: put a single colour transition near 0 in your colour map.
*
* Mathematically, the set crackle(p)=0 is a 3D Voronoi diagram of a field of
* semirandom points, and crackle(p)>0 is distance from set along shortest
path.
* (A Voronoi diagram is the locus of points equidistant from their 2 nearest
* neighbours from a set of disjoint points, like the membranes in suds are
* to the centres of the bubbles).
*
* The original "crackle" specific source code and examples are in the public
domain.
*
* CHANGES
* Oct 1994 : adapted from pigment by [CY]
* Other changes: enhanced by Ron Parker, Integer math by Nathan Kopp

Thanks, that's very helpful. I should probably spend some time looking over the
source code more often. My C++ is a little rusty from disuse, though.
So, the _map entry based on the node point of the cell, and uses the noise
generator chosen in your global options for the scene. It doesn't appear there
is a way to separately scale the node points for the call to the noise
generator, so creating more randomness across neighboring cells is a matter of
having fine-grained _maps to choose from.

Well, I'm glad it's of _some_ use. ;)

I've learned a lot from reading through the source code, even though my cpp
knowledge is mostly acquired through hunt (online) and code, or writing Arduino
sketches.

There isn't any way (to my knowledge) to affect the distribution of random
points, which is why so many people have expressed interest over the years in
having an SDL version of the voronoi pattern.
I've had a lot of success (not 100%) with adapting ShaderToy code to SDL, so
maybe at some point I can figure out how to make a voronoi pattern in SDL based
on some of the scripts.
Maybe some of that will be clearer / of more use to you.

Y'know - like this:
I'm not sure when I make all the squares or spheres fill up everything that it
turns black, with a few colored spots. My POV-Ray suckage, likely.
But it's proof of concept, so here we go.
Next stage would be to code it using only functions, and then it could be used
as a pigment pattern.

Indeed. If I knew how this all worked and could code it right. <eyeroll>
Also, these things are SLOW.
I thought the function version would be faster, but this small render took 23.75
min.
My initial frustration with trying to make one of these things was the nested
loops, but I figured I could "unroll" that and just daisy chain the functions.
Which I did, and it works - sorta.
But it's 102 functions, and for some reason it looks like I got the color code
wrong too.
It also look like there are different methods for generating the Voronoi
pattern, and this one is (obviously) grid based, like POV-Ray's. I'll have to
try my hand at one with a much more arbitrary data set.
Also: Chris R - are you aware that you can get a Voronoi pattern just using
overlapping cones? Depending on what you're planning to do with it, that would
be both super easy and FAST. And from what I understand, it's actually a
legitimate Voronoi result.

Maybe it would help if I attached the render. :|

Thanks for the pointers. I'll check them out.
Most of my work is done with isosurfaces, especially for close-up views of
objects. I end up coding the basic shape of the object I want as a function and
then apply perturbations using noise generators and pigment patterns to get the
"texture" I want on the surface of the object. I then apply an SDL texture to
get the color and finish look to the object.
For the tiled floors, and some of my brick wall work, I have to find ways to
make the pigment pattern I use to generate the surface texture to match up with
the pigment pattern I use to generate the colors and finishes. So, the crackle
pigment pattern works well that way, now that you have shown me how to get a
consistent texture to apply to the cells. If I need more variability between
cells I'll just have to play with the texture maps and randomize them more.
