Don't use union.   All that does is treat them all as one compound object.

Use concat ("First", " ", "Second", " ", "Third")

I just put separate spaces in there to show you how to format the command, and
that it doesn't insert any for you.


So,

#local T = concat ("First", " ", "Second", " ", "Third");

object {T texture {pigment {rgb <1,1,1> } }
