Hmm, I see...I think it would be possible to duplicate the patch with 
function patterns and 3 pigment functions(one for x, y, and z). It would 
be much more complex to use, though, and probably a lot slower.

Yeah, I know what subliminal messages are supposed to do...I just don't 
see how they fit in with my patch. If you aren't careful, the pattern 
gets scrambled beyond recognition, conscious or subconscious.


BTW, it might be interesting to apply this warp to an isosurface 
function pattern used in a pigment function to see how it affects the 
resulting object...did that make sense?

#declare Foo = function {pigment {function {...}...warp {displace 
{...}}}}

isosurface {function {Foo(x,y,z)}}
