I think a source posting is in order here.... I need to make a simpler 
example that will work as a spring board for ideas.

The object pattern is blurred by averaging it with a pigment_map. Each 
copy of the pigment is translated randomly. No distortion is performed, 
but can be if needed. The resulting 3d texture can then be placed inside 
a pigment_pattern{} block whenever I need it (typically pigment, normal 
and texture staments).
