Hi there, povers of the world:
Let me show you a pair of examples I rendered today using my tiling_torus_macro
(aka The Bastard Torus From Hell). The macro file and a small guide to the
parameters can be found in the unfinished site www.persistencia.org

Thanks in advance for your patience, comments, suggestions and/or corrections

Nice patterns.  I thought the name was a bit dramatic until I looked at the
macro.  Wow.  You could probably add a couple more four-letter words to the
front of the name if you got a little creative.  Looks useful.  Thanks.

Wow, the BTFH is huge!! Great shapes and so many great patterns too.
Thank you.

Hi:
Shortly I will update the page with a small improvement in the code of the macro
(threre's a small error in the randomness parameter) and new versions for
"mapping" cylinders, cones, spheres and planes.

Somebody knows of any other tileable surfaces?
(no boxes, no rectangles, no one with sharped edges, please)

Also I am open to include new designs in the list of patterns.
Hey, the code is opened and I would like to see some image done with this macro.
Thank you very much in advance by its patience, commentaries and corrections.

Nifty stuff! Thanks for sharing it. I, also, especially like the second example.

Best Regards,

Looks very interesting! I am certainly going to play with this... at some 
moment!

Thank you indeed for sharing this.

I am trying it out. I am really attracted to this becasue of all the pattern
options you already have. :) I will try to post a picture soon. My initial
feeling was that it would be great to have other texture options besides just
the rgb values.
I managed to accomplish this as follows:
In TBTFH.inc I changed:
//#local cylinder_txt = texture {pigment { rgb array_id_pgmnt[0] }
//                               finish {reflection 0.25 phong .6}}
#local cylinder_txt = texture {array_id_pgmnt[0]}

And in #macro PATCH_3 and #macro PATCH_3_wo_array I did this:

//         texture {
//                pigment {rgb array_id_pgmnt[array_pigment_id]}
//                finish {reflection 0.15
//                        phong 0
//                        diffuse .5
//                       }
//             }
           texture {array_id_pgmnt[array_pigment_id]}

Then I set my array, just to test:
// Pigment Array
#declare PArray = array[5]
#declare PArray[0] =
 texture {T_Gold_2C}
#declare PArray[1] =
 texture {T_Silver_3C}
#declare PArray[2] =
 texture {T_Copper_3C}
#declare PArray[3] =
 texture {T_Gold_3C}
#declare PArray[4] =
 texture {T_Gold_3C}

I can't figure out how big the array really needs to be. 3 might be enough?

 Oh, that's nice. This kind of tiling fits in quite well with your style

    Heh, it's kind of an 'in-joke' with someone else here. :)

      But yes, I agree with what you said, as in, 'thank you'.  :)

Yes, Steve, I'm a pattern junkie. So, this macro has me all jazzed! :)
