I was just messing around with repeating patterns and came up with this:

#declare fA = 18; //change this from 0 - 360 to get various different patterns

pigment {
  granite colour_map { [.1 rgb 1][.9 rgb 0] }

  #local nCount = 0;
  #while ( nCount < 10 )
    rotate -fA*z
    warp { repeat y flip y }
    #local nCount = nCount + 1;
  #end
}

It could be good for lace effects and carpet patterns.

I love it! It has this feeling of those old B/W-Science-Fiction movies 
(don't know why).
I'm always fascinated by the beauty and complexity of rather simple code.

Interesting what is still being discovered even with features that have 
been around for such a long time...this kind of thing would be 
practically impossible to come up with on purpose. Especially when it's 
such a simple solution to such a complex effect.

You're not wrong there, I was trying to get triangular tiles when I stumbled
across this! :)

   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/azulejos3d.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.
