Hi And,

These are interesting pattern experiments, and I'm looking forward to seeing
what you come up with.

I find it interesting to see the pattern that you have here, as I didn't
understand how the effect was being generated from a circular base pattern.

I coded your pattern into a scene, and for some reason, did not get the same
result.  Perhaps you could post the full code of a working scene.

Also, if you could describe the exact type of pattern that you are looking to
make, it would be easier to help you develop something through a logical
elaboration of a base pattern function.

I started with an atan2 (x, y) function, as that will give you a radial pattern
to start with.

#version 3.8;
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.0}
default {finish {diffuse 1}}

#include "functions.inc"

camera {
 location <0, 0, -10>
 right     x*image_width/image_height
 up y
 look_at <0, 0, 0>

}

light_source {<0,  1, -50> rgb 1.0}
sky_sphere {pigment {rgb 1}}


#declare C = function {0.5 - sqrt (x*x+y*y) + 0.1}

#declare W1 = function {f_bumps (x/C(x, y, z), y/C(x, y, z), z)}

#declare Freq = 20;
#declare Ang = function {atan2 (x, y)/(tau/Freq)}

#declare W2 = function {f_bumps (Ang (x, y, z), Ang (x, y, z), z)}

#declare Wood1 =
color_map {
 [0.00 srgb <249, 210, 173>/255]
 //[0.25 srgb <249, 210, 173>/255]

 [0.25 srgb <252, 156, 173>/255]
 //[0.50 srgb <252, 156, 173>/255]

 [0.50 srgb <206, 126,  72>/255]
 //[0.75 srgb <206, 126,  72>/255]

 [0.75 srgb <113,  51,  24>/255]
 //[1.00 srgb <113,  51,  24>/255]

}

plane {z, 0 pigment {function {W1(x, y, z)} color_map {Wood1}} }

//plane {z, 0 pigment {function {W2(x, y, z)} color_map {Wood1}} }

Attached is what I get when I try to use the functions posted here.
