Problem 1: use a cylindrical warp on the pattern (3.5.12.6.5 Mapping using
warps)

Problem 2: Hexagon can be used a a textire pattern, check the 4th example under
3.5.11.21 Hexagon

Problem 3: A little more difficult, but could be done.  Best way may be with a
function pattern, but coul also be done by manipulating gradient patterns
