I found a solution; use a pigment_pattern for the patterned texture rather than
using the pattern directly. Apply the turbulence to the pigment for the
pigment_pattern:
texture {
pigment_pattern {
pigment {
gradient x
color_map {
[0.0 rgb 0.0]
[0.5 rgb 0.0]
[0.5 rgb 1.0]
[1.0 rgb 1.0]
}
warp { turbulence 0.1 }
scale _box_size
}
}
texture_map {
[0.0 _t1]
[0.5 _t1]
[0.5 _t2]
[1.0 _t2]
}
}
-- Chris R.
