   Tek, this is just great. I'm writing a "ceramic tile generator" 
macro, and my method to mirror the pattern really sucked... your method 
is much more elegant and useful, and produces much nicer results:

   http://www.ignorancia.org/images/tests/azulejos3b.jpg
   http://www.ignorancia.org/images/tests/azulejos3c.jpg

   http://www.ignorancia.org/images/tests/azulejos3e.jpg
   http://www.ignorancia.org/images/tests/azulejos3f.jpg

   These are a few of the endless posibilities. The macro consists on 
some trig functions used as pigments with carefully-crafted color maps, 
and using your "rotated warps" effect for the repetition around z.

   Many thanks for sharing such discovery: it was a beautiful new year 
present!

Great Stuff - Both of you.

You should sell the code to tile manfacturers!

Good job, Tek! This should work nicely with the crackle and leopard 
patterns, too.

Yeah crackle looks great with it, though I couldn't get any nice results from
leopard.

Very very nice! But to get the "right" colors:

...
granite colour_map { [.1 rgb 10] [.6 rgb <6,0,0>]  [.7 rgb 0] [.9 rgb -6] }
...

:)
