Edge detector (as pattern), sort of.

Just a quick (and bad) test, 100% SDL, 100% CSG.

Ambient & Diffuse : <1,0>,<1/2,1/2>,<0,1>

I do not like:
 - it's not a map (and a map cannot be used)
 - the distribution in space (crude square/line are visible)
 - it uses a lot of objects, hence memory!
 - the sampling is limited at 256 entries... here with 125.

How ? so far just with average pattern and many object patterns (with a
bit of translate).

Software is like dirt - it costs time and money to change it and move it
around.

Just because you can't see it, it doesn't weigh anything,
and you can't drill a hole in it and stick a rivet into it doesn't mean
it's free.

Looks alright.  I does look like you have some coincident surface at some faces.
Rather than applying the averaged object pattern directly, maybe trun it into a
function first, then you could maybe work on some interpolation that would help
smooth the blockiness.

where ?
I failed to spot that.
Could you provide some indication ? (if on front-face, you might provide
the ring number and the hour)

I have circled some of the incidences in the pic attached.  Perhaps they are not
conicident surfaces but some other artifact.

Indeed, there was only one CSG-component there. I did say I did not like
the space distribution.

Here attached a test with an implementation which allow a map. (but
that's not SDL anymore). The object is sampled around the intersection
point in a sphere whose relative radius to the radius of the big sphere
(there is 3 of them) is the printed number.

Top object is the normal object with uniform texture.
The map is display around it with a gradient.

It is possible to get coincident surfaces from a pattern that has a sharp
transition that coincides with an object surface as well, not just two objects.
I noted it as possible coincident surface because it is only apparent on flat
surfaces.
